Choose glyphs for the Start Window preview thumbnail?

Hi,

Quick question about the Glyphs 4 Start Window: is there a way to choose which glyphs are used for a recent file’s preview thumbnail?

My icon font contains A and g, so Glyphs displays the familiar “Ag” preview. Those glyphs exist, but they are not representative of the icon set. It would be much more useful if I could choose one or two icons for the thumbnail instead.

If this is not currently possible, a small font-level setting or custom parameter for choosing the preview glyphs would be a lovely nice-to-have. Definitely not urgent—just a bit of polish that would make icon projects easier to recognize in the Start Window.

Thanks!

In Glyphs 4, there is the “File Icon Glyphs” parameter for this. That should be picked up by the QuickLook plugins for the file icon in finder. But the Start window doesn’t seem to pick it up, yet.
