Gallery thumbnail from video

[sugatam]

First off, loving pigallery2. Its exactly what I was looking for, so thank you for creating this awesome program.

The problem I have is that a gallery thumbnail always uses a frame capture from a video (if I have a video in the folder of course), and that looks pretty bad on the gallery grid. A thumbnail generated from a photo is nice and sharp, but every time I go into the gallery and play a video, it switches the gallery's thumbnail. Can you ensure a gallery thumbnail is always sourced from a photo and only reverts to a video if there are no photos in the directory?

You can set in the previou settings. Set a search query there that excludes videos

Sorry for the rush comment previously.

Here is a similar a duplicate thread #679

if you set the seach query to something like file-name:jpg, it will first try finding photos. If it fails, it uses all other media in a folder.
