When I look at my video thumbnails, I have not a clue what it contains since there is no icon picture
I noticed a preview pane but that would be unnecessar, since
XnView shows picturized thumbnails for pictures so why not for videos ?
Compare to Windows Photo Gallery where a miniature picture is always shown on both pictures and videos

Irrespective of format, there is no icon. Yes, it is played by XnView.

XnView is too tricky. I am now using Windows PhotoGallery. That too would need a lot of improvement but still more simple to use than XnView.
