I’ve made a system that registers our farm renders on Shotgun before they are even completed (for CG renders).

Production wants to see renders that are on the farm in Shotgun so they don’t have to wonder if something is in progress.  
Makes sense.

My system also uploads a temp thumbnail, but unfortunately that overwrites the Shot overall Thumbnail.

Is there a way to make the Overall Shot Thumbnail ignore my temp thumbnail in this instance?
