Subject: [PATCH] Add Generate Now and Add to Queue buttons
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Changed thumbnail module to match convert module behavior with two
action buttons:

GENERATE NOW (High Importance):
- Adds job to queue and starts it immediately
- Runs right away if queue is idle
- Queues for later if jobs are running
- Shows "Thumbnail generation started!" message

Add to Queue (Medium Importance):
- Adds job to queue without starting
- Allows queuing multiple jobs
- Shows "Thumbnail job added to queue!" message

Implementation:
- Refactored job creation into createThumbJob() helper function
- Both buttons use same job creation logic
- Generate Now auto-starts queue if not running
- Follows same pattern as convert module

Benefits:
- Immediate generation when queue is idle
- Queue multiple jobs without starting
- Consistent UX with convert module
- Clear user feedback on action taken
