I'm not Dave, but here's why I'd find it handy. I often want to transfer a 
file over the network to my Windows box from the Mythbox. MythWeb shows the 
file as a link to http://mythbox:8080/mythweb/tv/detail/1010/1238750700; I 
have a drive mapped to the mythbox but the file names are not obviously 
related. For example, the matching one is 1010_20090403192500.mpg. Makes it 
harder to grab the correct file.

As it happens, a relatively easy work around is to view the mapped files as 
thumbnails. Then I can see the thumbnail which matches the MythWeb preview 
image and I grab the matching .mpg file next to the thumbnail.
