[Feature] Add option to Generate thumbnails for image files

[JoeShymoe]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently it is not possible to change image thumbnails after they are initially scanned.

Describe the solution you'd like Stash has options under the Generate heading to do similar things for a number of other options. It would be useful if image thumbnails was added to that list.

Describe alternatives you've considered Delete the images from stash and rescan them.

Implementing this will also help people who did not choose to generate image thumbnails during scan but do want to generate them later.

Currently, when they are generated during a scan, it respects the Number of parallel task for scan/generation setting.

When they are generated automatically while browsing, stash currently tries to generate thumbnails for all images on the page at the same time, which might lead to stash crashing due to OOM when there are many large images (I've had stash crash due to this).

From the above, I am taking it that stash doesn't generate a new thumbnail when it detects an ohash change (i.e. the image has changed)?... If not then yes, this would be good to add.

I have the same issue here. I scanned thousands of image galleries without Generate previews for image clips option and now it is imposible to rescan them to generate missing image thumbnails:

Well this explains a lot. I'm currently experiencing the same issue.

Please consider both folder galleries and zip galleries 🙏

@elshanta please make a separate issue. Tailored issues allow for faster development.

Kinda OT and I don't want to sound presumptuous, but I switched a rather extensive library from folder to zips. If you don't access those folders by means other than Stash, it has a number of advantages that shouldn't be discarded, especially from a storage point of view.

thanks for the recommendation.

Any kind soul who can start this on the backlog please 🙏 Should be a quick fix.

This was partially solved but there are still some cases where galleries have empty thumbnails.
