First, great program, simple yet feature rich.

Not sure if this is possible yet, I am unable to find a way to do it.

Running the program on many videos at once (Batch)...

Ability to have the MIN number of thumbnails set
Generate at least x thumbnails or one every x seconds
Increase the amount of rows as needed

Example....

Thumbnail set to 7x6 for a min total of 42 Thumbnails
Every 60 seconds generate thumbnail or at least 42 thumbnails

So if the video was 300 seconds long it would generate a thumbnail every 7.148 seconds for a total of 42
But if the video was 7,200 seconds long it would generate a thumbnail every 60 seconds for a total count of 120 with a tile arrangement of 7x18
If the video was 2530 it would generate every 60 seconds for total count of 43, with a tile arrangement of 7x7

If I was getting picky, it would also be great to always fill the entire row with thumbnails 7 wide of each new row created by splitting the difference of time evenly. rounding up or down to the nearest 7 in this example

If the video was 300 seconds long it would generate a thumbnail every 7.148 seconds for a total of 42
If the video was 7,200 seconds long it would generate a thumbnail every 60.50 seconds for a total count of 119 with a tile arrangement of 7x17
If the video was 2530 seconds it would generate every 42.1666 seconds for total count of 42, with a tile arrangement of 7x6
If the video was 2740 seconds it would generate every 55.92 seconds for total count of 49, with a tile arrangement of 7x7
If the video was 3240 seconds it would generate every 66.12 seconds for total count of 49, with a tile arrangement of 7x7

Hello,
Thank you for the feedback.

Have you tried F2->Advanced Timeline Control->Use "Specific timestep" checkbox ON->"Extend Matrix" checkbox ON.

It adds additional rows to your matrix when needed.
That is the closest feature at the moment.

Just need to modify it a bit ;)
