It would be better once there is multi-window support in Gem.

Or you could use PDP or Pf to create a second "gui" window that tells Gem what to load...

People have been asking for this in pixelTANGO, but I'm not likely to add a pf dependancy to pixeltango anytime soon... nor putting thumbnail frames in the patcher.

You could look into how gnome does it, as in generates cute icons from frames in all video formats in the file manager, and then caches them.. its pretty fast...

Is there some way to do this with Max, perhaps?

It's pretty easy with GridFlow, too, if you have image thumbnails prepared at the same (known) size.

GridFlow has multi-window support, and awesome mouse and keyboard support.

Attached is an example I made that displays a grid of images and handles clicks to give the number of the video that has been selected.
