[Feature Request] Cache all images button? #90

Open qcasey opened 3 years ago

Great app, I'm looking to replace Google Photos and this plus the backend gets me 90% of the way there!

It would be nice to have a button in the settings that caches the thumbnails for every image in the PhotoPrisim library.

I have ~10K photos, going back about a decade. Ideally this would make it so scrolling through years isn't a list of endless white squares. If my math is right, all thumbnails for this size library should be well under 500 MB which is a very fair price for the improved experience.

I like the idea, allthough I am not yet sure, how this can be implemented, as we currently use a plugin that handles the caching of images for us
