Hm ironic_monkey's implementation is interesting, but my 5 year old iMac stutters while extracting thumbnails if software decoding (tested on master+relevant commits from his repo).
Changing the job priority to LOW_PAUSABLE is not an option, as these jobs are paused on playback. If thumbnails extraction is disabled it looks quite ugly in the bookmarks window though (also, if there's some bookmark with a thumbnail...).
I don't know how the GUI technically works, so let me use the word "tabs" :-). I'd add a specific "Chapters" tab to the bookmarks window - that way one can disable thumbnail extraction and get a proper list that doesn't expect a thumbnail (this seems perfect: http://nsa34.casimages.com/img/2014/04/1...123417.png). Ideally it'd show thumbnails if they exist for all chapters or a simple list.
Just my opinion - as I said I don't really know how to do that.
