Description

Actual behaviour

In the main view (all files) in grid mode I see thumbnails for images, I see a "note" image and the file name for a sound file, but for video files I see nothing but an "arrow" icon.

Expected behaviour

Preferred solution: Show any frame image from the video as thumbnail Alternative solution: show at least also the file name

Research direction
Investigate how image thumbnails are currently loaded in grid view (likely in an adapter or fragment). Extend to video files using MediaMetadataRetriever to extract a frame as thumbnail, or fallback to showing the filename. Look at existing thumbnail loading logic and file type handling in the repository.
