> Calc saves the current tab as thumb

You mean, the tab that was current when the file was last saved? That's weird
and non-intuitive. If I'm working on one of the sheets, does that mean I want
it to be the thumbnail? No.

Indeed :-)

Sure you can, I gave you one.

Well, that would get the job done and require very little implementation
effort. But - if you want something less clumsy, you could also add a sheet or
sheet + area selection, a bit like what we do for chart source area selection,
but with focus on sheets, or just a choice of sheets. That would be a "show,
don't tell" choice.
