That is not even close to want I want. What I want is the raw thumbnail to
be updated...

If I have 20 similar raw files, and I decided one of them is the perfect
one and I process it, I want its thumbnail in DK to be updated so when I
see my 20 files in DK, I know which one is the one I was processing. Maybe
with 1 processed file is not a huge gain, but imagine I process the 20 of
them, one to BW, one to other thing... Now I want to open the one I
processed in BW low contrast... how do I know which one is it? Visual
reference is better than tags for this...
