Add PDF files to Folder Thumbnail order of precedence

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.
