Change Video Thumbnail to be shown disc thumbnail menu

I have prepared a disc with a title comprising 6 short videos which are thumbnailed on the t/nail menu. All of these 6 vidoes have been created into films. On review I now don't like some of the thumbnails showing and would like to change them for something else within the film. I can see how to create chapters and ammend thumbnails for chaters but all the films are only 1 chapter long. So is it possible to change the tumbnail showing for each film or is that set when the film is created. If it is possible how can you do it. If its not possible how do you set the thumbnail when you finalise and create the film.

Any help , advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi David (CPH54a )
1. Open PD
2. Edit Workspace, Project in Tracks
3. Select to display Chapter Room and Chapter track
4. First Chapter displays
5. Move the track slider in your project to a new preferred position. Use Preview to check.
6. Move to the Chapter Room, icon button on the bottom right, set just to the left of the Preview play button. Click it. (Set current frame as the chapter thumbnail)
7. You have now reset the thumbnail image.

Ok, You might have problems with this but it should work and should display the thumbnail in Menu designer later.

I tried this and the chapter is, indeed set for the single project but this is not inherited into the menu designer:
