Hi Bruce, At this point in time, the CSV ingest process (which uses Batch Metadata Editing) doesn't support adding any content files during the ingest. It only supports metadata-only Items. See the docs at: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Batch+Metadata+Editing#BatchMetadataEditing-AddingMetadata-OnlyItems
So, it's not possible to add thumbnails in this way. However, after an Item is created, it is possible to auto-generate thumbnails for any content files using the Media Filters: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Mediafilters+for+Transforming+DSpace+Content You can also replace any auto-generated thumbnails with any content you wish... you'd just need to replace the auto-generated file in the THUMBNAIL bundle of the Item (see the Edit Item -> Bitstreams tab) Hopefully that gives some hints some possible solutions. If you have other questions, feel free to ask on this list.
