Thumbnails for folder view in PLEX Home THeater

I use PLEX Home Theater with my kids Previously we used media center and they would point to tell me what they want to see. Now they can explain what they see in the thumbnail images so I can select for them with the remote.

Now with PLEX I cannot do that because the folder view (where I keep episodes for a season of a tv show for example) have only a generic icon.

Would it be possible to generate thumbnails for folders instead of the generic icon to support this scenario ?

Here is the feature being demonstrated in Microsoft WMC on Windows 8. Library is being indexed when I took the screenshot that is why tiles are not all showing a thumbnail.

For movies its quite simple if there is only one movie in the folder, then display that movies poster.

All movies are usually stored in a folder with only that movie inside, so it would be easy enough to just show the picture of the movie in that folder.

Folder view is allmost useless without this feature i think.

I really hope the developers will create this relatively simple feature in an update.
