Set thumbnails in pose library
Add thumbnails to the pose library to make it easier to select poses.
Thumbnails can be created immediately by automatic rendering of thumbnails, and other pose library lists can be made into buttons to help motion production work.
! Doesn’t work in Blender2.93～
This add-on does not work due to the specification change of Blender2.93～.
(as of Addon ver2.0.50 / 2021-08-24)

Thumbnail batch rendering
Generate thumbnails for all poses.
If you adjust the resolution, you can use it as an image export function for checking the pose.
If you do not want to update the existing thumbnail, move the file before executing it.
Other menu improvements
List buttoning
A button mode for the pose library list is available.
You can access the poses in the list from the large, easy-to-click buttons.
Added Japanese translation
If the Blender language is Japanese, some text will be translated into Japanese.
3D view panel menu
Fixed an issue where the 3D view panel menu was not displayed.
It will be displayed on the Item tab.
The registered tab can be changed from the add-on settings.

Is your addon able to mix 2 poses with a slider as well? This is a feature which sadly doesn’t work very well with the one from the Blender team. Since that feature gives errors.
