Comment:

 Attachment thumbs_v1.patch implements this concept within the existing
 cutlist editor screen.

 In osd.xml in the osd_program_editor window, you can define any number of
 <imagetype> objects whose name starts with "thumbnail_".  The rest of the
 name is a floating point value that specifies where to grab a thumbnail
 image, in terms of the number of edit distance "steps" away from the
 current frame.  Here is an example (based on a 1280x720 OSD theme size):

 {{{
       <imagetype name="thumbnail_-2">
         <filename>images/background.png</filename>
         <area>200,0,200,200</area>
         <preserveaspect>true</preserveaspect>
         <alpha>200</alpha>
       </imagetype>
       <imagetype name="thumbnail_-1">
         <filename>images/background.png</filename>
         <area>400,0,200,200</area>
         <preserveaspect>true</preserveaspect>
         <alpha>200</alpha>
       </imagetype>
       <imagetype name="thumbnail_1">
         <filename>images/background.png</filename>
         <area>680,0,200,200</area>
         <preserveaspect>true</preserveaspect>
         <alpha>200</alpha>
       </imagetype>
       <imagetype name="thumbnail_2">
         <filename>images/background.png</filename>
         <area>880,0,200,200</area>
         <preserveaspect>true</preserveaspect>
         <alpha>200</alpha>
       </imagetype>
       <imagetype name="thumbnail_10">
         <filename>images/background.png</filename>
         <area>1105,200,175,175</area>
         <preserveaspect>true</preserveaspect>
         <alpha>200</alpha>
       </imagetype>
       <imagetype name="thumbnail_-10">
         <filename>images/background.png</filename>
         <area>0,200,175,175</area>
         <preserveaspect>true</preserveaspect>
         <alpha>200</alpha>
       </imagetype>
 }}}

 A background helper thread loads the thumbnails in the order specified.
 One to-do item is to dynamically change that order to prioritize for the
 frames the user likely wants to see first.  Another item is to improve the
 design of the thumbnail choice/size/placement.
