Right now there is the option "skip video file if all required pictures exist on the disk (the content is not checked)".

If during creation the program were to save the modified date of the corresponding movie file, it could also use that information to decide if a new thumbnail could be necessary on later creations, so that there could be an option to update automatically any .vtx file during a recursive pass.

Not very often. I could script an automatic update of the thumbnail after a content modification, but, as I plan to have a scheduled task every so often update all thumbnails in some paths, it would be easier if to let it do it.

Even if I don't replace the video file, I often edit it's metadata and filename to update the artist and title, then the filename on the thumbnail file (first line) needs to be updated. If instead of having the name hard coded, the viewer could display current the name of the file, this would not be quite necessary.
