Not sure if this is possible, but it would be nice to be able to tell the preloader to generate the thumbnail given a certain offset into the video file. I've noticed some video files give pretty bad thumbnails, stuff like all black screenshots or part of an intro in the early parts of the video, so it would be pretty useful to be able to say "generate all thumbnails from a picture taken X% into the video".

I don't think this is in the scope of this app.

As I understand it, it only tell windows to generate the thumbnail. What actually generates it is something else.

You could install something line Icaros that is a thumbnail generator for videos, and among its options you can configure the offset in time or in percentage of when to take the thumbnail.
This would make it so that when you go in explorer, it is used to generate video thumbnails, and also when you use this app, windows will call it when it needs a video thumb.
