Rebuild thumbnails confusing

View->Rebuild thumbnails is confusing. What is it supposed to do? Does it rebuild the thumbnail for the selected files? Or the folder I am currently in? Or all thumbnails in the database?

Ah I see. It would be nice to have this as context menu. Then it would be clear that is will be performed on the selected item(s).

Now when I tried to rebuild thumbnails, it did not work.
It did not change the thumbnails at all.
Only via settings->thumbnails when I delete thumbnails for a selected folder and then open that folder, the new thumbnails get generated.

Oh. So it is even more confusing. I think that is not a good decision. When I want to rebuild a thumbnail, XnVieMP should rebuild the thumbnail as requested.

I checked that with one of those file where 4 thumbnails did not work. After switching to ffmpeg I need to recreate those to have 4 thumbs for them as well.
Now when I clicked one of those and pressed rebuild, nothing happend.

After some testing to me it seems that clicking rebuild thumbnail does not trigger the function to start.
When I select some files then click "rebuild thumbnails" then scroll up a bit, only then the thumbnailing starts.
Other triggers not working in XnView MP as well.

Rebuild thumbnails isn't working on it either. It may have something to do with the other symbols. There are three...
1. A small white box in the corner: I think that's the embedded image one
2. A white I: that's an uppercase i not a lower case L
3. A white E.
Cleaning the thumbnail removes all but the small white box, and like I said, it doesn't clear up the thumbnail, and the other symbols just return as soon as I re-click on the folder or rebuild the thumbnail. Before cleaning would clean the thumbnail but it would do that by making a copy of the image as a .jp_ file.
