hi -

since you can paste your own artwork into the movie preview thumbnail,
it would be very helpful if there was a checkbox next to the "generate
previews automatically" preference, that would allow you to disable
it.

particularly for people using hd wmv or mkv movies, the time it takes
usher to import them is excruciatingly slow. i would prefer to open
the movie in vlc or mplayer (which take no time to import) and save a
screenshot manually, then paste it into usher. i would also have those
movies set to play in vlc or mplayer too. so there is no longer a
reason for usher to have to import the movie, except perhaps to get
the duration of it, but i can easily live without that if necessary.

once artwork has been pasted in, usher should not try to automatically
import the movie, even if you turn the preference back on. sometimes i
would prefer to have usher do it automatically (even for wmv files if
they are small), and sometimes manually.

this would make a huge improvement in the usability of usher for wmv/
mkv files! thanks...
