In each tab of image, add thumbnail for preview of image, so be identified when other tab is selected
Description In each tab of image, add thumbnail for preview of image, so be identified when other tab is selected. This will make switching/navigation between tabs more user friendly.
Additional context See attached image. Thumbnail marked with ping arrows. Preferably the thumbnails will be larger than shown in this example
The tab bar widget Pinta uses is https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/class.TabBar.html, which doesn't seem to have support for adding custom widgets such as this
@cameronwhite I've checked in Paint.Net, and they actually don't use "tab control style" container. They have a strip of picture-buttons which behave like radio-buttons. So maybe this possible this way ? This very convenient to use (at least in my opinion)

It is technically possible, but quite a bit of work to implement. I've generally been trying to move Pinta towards using standard widgets from GTK and libadwaita where possible, since developing and maintaining custom widgets has a high development cost, especially with having had to recently port Pinta from GTK2 -> GTK3 -> GTK4
