Better performance and experience for in Thumbnail Exposé

[Suzie97]

My biggest problem with the current is that it can be slow to load for big books with lots of pages. This is quite frustrating because I read on multiple devices and when I need to jump to a certain page on my mac, I end up having to wait for the thumbnails to load.

Also, the thumbnail view takes up the entire real estate of the screen, not just the SimpleComic window which doesn't feel great. I keep my dock on the left side of the screen, and the first column of pages in the thumbnail view render behind my dock, so I can't see them.

Good points.

I can see the thumbnails being put in a popover instead of taking over the screen.

Oh, I just remembered, the Preview app on macOS has this Contact Sheet feature which kind of works similarly to Thumbnail View in SimpleComic.

Some nice things I like in this view:

• I can pinch in and out to change the thumbnail sizes.
• The page numbers are displayed below the thumbnails.
• It covers the entire window real estate and I can scroll through it, which is nice.

Sharing it here, in case it helps.
