    Hey. I would like to manually be able to add a thumbnail for my assets. Some of my assets can be trigger boxes that are invisible, or prefab decals that don't render unless they hit something. This causes them to just be black, as nothing is rendered. Therefore I got the idea that maybe I could us thumbnails instead to make it easier when I go through my assets. Is this possible somehow? Or is there perhaps something that I could do to ease the preview?

    Here is what it looks like for me at the moment.

    This is what I would like to achieve. Where I could give a thumbnail for my materials (badly drawn roll of wallpaper) and an icon of a projector for my prefabs.
