As discussed in this Bug Report:

...I have a number of "incorrect Face Thumbnails" that I would like to fix.

The procedure for doing it one-by-one is to select an incorrect Face Thumbnail in Face Manager, and select Goto->Folder:

    You cannot view this attachment.

This opens the Media & Folders View, and focuses the File from which that Face came. 

That file can then be sent to the Viewer (where the Face Annotation appears properly), and if the Face Annotation is moved slightly, the corresponding Face Thumbnail is re-created with the correct size/placement.

But it's pretty labor intensive to do it that way.  If we could Ctrl-Click all of the "bad Faces" in Face Manager, and get all the FileNames copied into the Clipboard (the same as we can for Files in the File Window), we could then use the File Finder App to create a scope of all the files that need to be manipulated in the Viewer.

Or better still, could Face Manager provide an option to re-build the selected Face Thumbnails?...(without having to do any manual work in the Viewer).

This is a pretty specialized request, so it probably doesn't merit a Feature Request, but if there are any tricks which could help speed up this process, it would be greatly appreciated.
