Hello

When you visit an album with videos in it, you can't really tell any difference between videos and photos. If I just look through an album not leaving the thumbnail view you will surely miss that videos are videos.

Maybe some very visible frame around it showing that it's a movie and not a photo?

Good point! I've submitted a ticket so the request doesn't get forgotten about:
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/811

EDIT: For now the only work around I can think of is to separate videos from photos into separate albums. You could also potentially (I haven't checked into this) modify your theme to check the type of the file (movie or photo) and display some note or something there.

Or just change the title to say "MOVIE:..." so people know for now.
