{{Third-party plugin}}<!--ThumbnailGenerator version 1.0.26 for Gramps 5.1-->
[[File:ThumbnailGeneratorTool-win.png|thumb|right|439px|Thumbnail Generator Tool in progress]]
The {{man label|Thumbnail Generator Tool}} regenerates thumbnails for images media attached to objects.
The thumbnail images are fetched from the Operating System. So, if your OS does not have an application associated with the [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_type file/MIME type] of the media, or if that application does not generate thumbnails from the content, then then that media object will only be given a generic thumbnail.
{{-}}
==Usage==
* No confirmation (preemptive cancel) opportunity.
* No options are offered.}}
 
The thumbnails will be regenerated in five passes:
* Generating thumbnails for person references
* Generating thumbnails for family references
* Generating thumbnails for event references
* Generating thumbnails for place references
* Generating thumbnails for source references
