Maybe we should poke developers of e.g. the GNOME application "Shotwell" or KDE's "Photobook"? IIRC the place where I first saw this type of volatile range usecases was in that type of app that needs to keep a gazillion of thumbnails around.
Windows even consider the operation so costly that it saves the thumbnails to files named "Thumb.db" in the image dirs for later reuse if the file is untouched, I bet some of these apps do that too.
