| Description |

Our current asset chooser doesn't offer any previews. If your assets are many and use similar titles, you only realize after picking a specific asset that it was the wrong one, which forces you to click many times again to just make a second, possibly equally wrong decision. There's a thumbnail view, of course, but the current implementation behind it still has performance issues for customers with many assets, offers no filters and doesn't show any information alongside the thumbs currently, which would help you in identififying the asset you're looking for. We would thus like to offer dedicated previews in the Tree view of an asset chooser. We've discussed and estimated several options we currently have and would like to try the following:

Added link to one of the more recent support issues asking for a resolution to the problem of missing previews. |

The described solution sounds very good for us: The editor will have the tiny thumb-nails to guide the initial choice, and the detailed preview once he selects an Item. I think this is exactly what our editors need and want. Thank you! |

Please update the documentation for info.magnolia.dam.app.assets.column.AssetNameColumnDefinition#isThumbnails
/**
* Defines whether this column will render thumbnail images of assets or basic icons for asset types.
*
* @return <code>true</code> if image thumbnails are enabled, <code>false</code> otherwise. Defaults to <code>true</code>.
