I can only think the reason that this isn't a higher priority is that I went
through a dozen different threads to find this one with a lot of users unaware
for the cause of slow thumbnails. Having just updated from Kubuntu 20.04 to
22.04 this is (thankfully!) the only glaring bug I've found. It really does
make using dolphin wearisome unless you just accept you can't use icons without
unreasonable delay. Using encrypted drives are so prevalent I was surprised
this issue is from 2021.

Of the solutions the simplest would seem to be to just check if $HOME is
encrypted and if so then allow the thumbnail cache for other encrypted drives.
The toggle also makes sense, as would simply having the thumbnail directory
itself encrypted, but my vote would be for whatever gets done the quickest.
