Add PDF files to Folder Thumbnail order of precedence

Post by klownboy »

Don, would it be possible to add PDF files to that folder thumbnail sequential hierarchy or order of precedence. This is what the help file currently states:
Folder Thumbnails. The file list supports Folder Thumbnails. When enabled, folders display a thumbnail drawn from one of the contained files in the following order of precedence:
1. desktop.ini (this file can define a folder thumbnail in various ways)
2. folder.jpg, folder.jpeg, folder.png, or folder.gif (in that order)
3. <foldername>.jpg, <foldername>.jpeg, <foldername>.png, or <foldername>.gif (in that order).
4. The first image file among the alphabetically first 50 files.
5. The first video file among the alphabetically first 50 files.
I know this sequential hierarchy been tweaked a few times in the past, but I was thinking possibly as part of 4 above where you have a PDF file in the list (i.e., the image files include PDFs within the first 50 files) or make it a separate order number between 4 and 5 or even a new 6. When you have a bunch of mainly PDFs in many subfolders, it would be great to have the subfolders displayed as a thumbnail of a PDF file within the subfolders. Many of these folders don't contain JPG or PNG files. Thanks.
