 * I’ve looked but cannot find the answer so if it exists, I apologize in advance.
 * Is it possible to schedule a refresh of thumbnails? Once a day or week or the
   like.
 * If not, can this be a feature request?

 * No, there is no way to currently schedule thumbnail refreshes. Since the generation
   of thumbnails relies on an external free service, I do not like the idea of having
   users of my plugins regularly ping their service. The main idea behind generating
   thumbnails was to facilitate the generation of images once, not on a regular 
   schedule.
