Force render of previews for all images

I'm so happy to see that Luminar 3.1 is creating and caching full size previews so you don't have to re-render the image very time you click on it - massive UX improvement. Right now the preview is created when you first open an image. Could there be an option to force preview creation on first load of an image or from a menu option? Would save the annoying wait when you first scroll through a new set of pictures.

  +1 I agree, the previews not being rendered isn't too much fun when browsing large libraries, I click on an image and have to wait for the preview to generate.

  I guess you are on a Mac. Because on my PC I still have to wait to Luminar to render the preview of each image, even if it was created 30seconds earlier.

  3.1.1 on Mac actually seems to have removed the prerendering, in favour of rendering much faster. Still slow enough to be a bit annoying though. It also really hammers my CPU which fits with comments elsewhere on this forum that Luminar isn't making use of GPU power (although my GPU is feeble but still a better choice than the CPU for tasks suited to it).
