system by pre-generating previews when your system is normally idle and thus
putting less load on your machine when the requests are actually served.

This app is primarily meant for small Nextcloud servers running on cheap
hardware where on-demand generation of previews is not quick enough. The app
effectively trades higher disk usage for quicker previews and this trade-off
should be considered carefully. The previous reasoning of resource exhaustion
caused by too many concurrent preview requests is not a concern anymore as
there is a [configurable limit](https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/config_sample_php_parameters.html#preview-concurrency-all)
in modern versions of Nextcloud.

The app does not replace on demand preview generation so if a preview is
requested before it is pre-generated it will still be shown.
