Video indicator in slideshow mode

I like the slideshow mode because it allows quick update of folder image and other settings as well as deleting or excluding images from the album.
This mode does not display the name or type of the item, so several times I accidently deleted a video because I thought it was a blurry picture.

I would appreciate if one of the following alternatives can be added:
1. Adding an indication fit videos, such as an overlaid icon.
2. Better yet, have that indication and also allow playing the video either within the slideshow frame (preferable) or launching a player, such as the same one used in the Edit mode (internal and external).
3. Enhance the Edit mode with tools similar to those available in slideshow mode: delete, nark as folder image, etc. That is probably the way to go although 2 & 3 will be the best.

On a somewhat unrelated matter: can the video editing tool be enhanced to support video for formats other then mp4?

Thank you so much for a great software!

Thank you for a very reasonable feature request!
The supported video formats are determined by the underlying Java engine. It's currently limited to very few formats , Post requests to Oracle for support for more formats! There are others who have attempted to add more formats, but it's currently not easy .
