Only semi-support.
You can do that with the current system.
Yeah, but this would make it much easier for new users to fake their project.

Besides, it's not about the thumbnail, it's about the content.
It is about the content, but I never look at a project unless it has a cool thumbnail. Without one, the content doesn't even have a chance.
You are correct that the amount of fake thumbnails would go up. But the pros still ought weigh the cons by a million (in my opinion).

Me too - most of the time

i agree because with this you can turn projects you really like into thumbnails

I support! I just really hate making a new sprite for a thumbnail because the project autosaves! Then I have to do something to make it suggest saving again. I then have to manually press the save now button myself. I just never make a thumbnail for a project for the reason that it is annoying and most certainly tedious. Yes, people could make irrelevant thumbnails (A picture of a Pikachu holding a ketchup bottle when the project is just a blank template with a Scratch Cat in the middle that does nothing), but a person could already do this currently with this system, just a tad bit slower (or a lot slower depending on all sorts of technical stuff). That is really the only con that has been mentioned. I'll list out all the pros and cons I can think of.
Pros

Easier way to find out how to make thumbnails!

Possibly easier to make a thumbnail

A lot less tedious

Cons

Irrelevant thumbnails

Commonly used thumbnails

3 to 2… that means that pros outweigh the cons by… 150%! That means there is 50% more positives than cons!!!

Not necessary imo, just use this in your thumbnail block.

when green flag clicked
set [ghost v] effect to (100)

And when you start, it disappears but when the stop sign is pressed it shows, making easy thumbnail saving.

(edit: ) Also, not necessary =/= no support, I'm neutral on this one as I don't see it as too big of a problem.
