Description

When reviewing files in the media viewer from the thumbnail view (with one or no files selected), the selection follows the currently file in the media viewer when you close it.

It can be difficult to find where you are in the thumbnail list when this happens (if the thumbnails are small and the chosen highlight color blends with colors in the thumbnails.

Please add a function to scroll the selected thumbnail into view and/or some other way to highlight, perhaps flashing the current selection colors.
