Hi Mark. Thanks for your reply. I can't see the problem here in *generate* a file name (as UUID) to prevent the case that TW5 must know the file name which is unavailable at this particular moment. After save it to a (TW5) folder it should be possible to generate a uri from that place for thumbnails. It is another topic to import and provide a thumbnail from an external uri fmpov.
