Tiles view folder loading is slow #2944

Bug Description

Loading a folder with a decent amount of files in the tiles view is quite slow compared to the table view. This is mainly due to the reason that we compute the resource link for each and every file in the list, not just for the files in the viewport.

Reproduction Steps

• upload a folder with e.g. 250 files
• set the "Items per page" setting to 250
• navigate into the folder

Expected Outcome

The folder loads as fast as in the table view.

Actual Outcome

The folder takes about 1-2 seconds to load. Also, switching the view mode from table to tiles in the folder has noticeable delay.
