Save thumbnails cache for project panel thumbnail view

This shouldn't be such a big issue to fix - and I see from the comments here it has been requested for a couple of years now! Come on Adobe and fix this issue!

Would just like to throw my comment in here to say, yes please. Thumbnail chache!!!! Pls Adobe. Kthx

Also, thumbnails in the timeline behave similarly, constantly needing refreshes... so wasteful

PLEASE ADD THIS ADOBE!

Failing to find any solution, I created an AutoHotkey script that will attempt to pre-load all the thumbnails in your bin by simply selecting each item in the bin. Sort of a temporary solution, at least for Windows users.

Feel free to download it, use it and share it.

Requisites:

- Windows
- AutoHotkey (it's very easy to install https://www.autohotkey.com/ - no programming knowledge needed)


Usage:
1. Open Premiere
2. Select the bin you'd like to preload, even better - fullscreen it using tilde ` key.
(Make sure you're in Icon View, not List View)
3. Run this script
4. Manually input the number of items in the bin
5. You can grab a coffee or browse internet in the meantime (though be aware keyboard may not work 100% well)
6. Repeat for each bin you'd like to preload

I found a solution (partly) -
you need to "set poster frame" for each clip, you can do it quickly by using short key SHIFT+P

I worked with Final Cut Pro for years. I switched to Premiere after so many people told me it was better. Overall, it is excellent. But the thing I miss the most about FCPX is it's thumbnails and clip organization. I work on big projects with hundreds of clips. In FCPX, it was so easy to sort all the clips by applying keywords to them. And I never had to wait for thumbnails to load.

Please, Adobe, help us out!

April 2019 and still not fixed I believe. Would love the thumbnails to preload all instead of only loading the ones that are currently shown in the bin browser window. Always affraid to scroll down or up because of the loading time. Better to have some waiting time during the startup of Premiere than during the editing itself.

COMPLETELY AGREE!!!! THE THUMBNAIL ISSUE IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING! Sort it out ASAP! projects with a large number of clips are just too painfully slow to work with!
