Currently if you have a block (not sure what the right terminology is, sorry) of a clip or something in a video track on your timeline, then it will only show one thumbnail for that entire block. But I would much prefer to have a bunch of thumbnails for one block, so you can easily see various thumbnails and see quicker where something might be in a block.

Similar to this other video editor (filmora):
see attachment.

I think related to bug 488686 but still a bit different

This is already possible (not enabled by default to preserve resources. Right click in the Track Head and select "All Frames"
