It would be useful to view a thumbnail preview of pdf files in the multimedia window

It's important to remember PDFs are not image files, so they can not be processed as such, they are print ready pages.

Windows XP manages to show the first page of pdf files as a thumbnail - isn't there a way FH could do the same?
