That just names the primary image as filename-thumb.jpg it doesn't actually identify them to jellyfin as thumbnails
If you manually add an image through the UI you can tell jellyfin if it is a primary,backdrop,thumb etc.
Adding an image as a thumbnail doesn't save it to the media folder anymore.
Having episode images identified by jellyfin as a thumbnail allows you to have some episodes/shows display the custom episode images without forcing every show to do the same, if there's a show you don't have episode images for you just include a landscape.jpg file in the show folder and it will use that. If you have custom thumbnails you just place the images in the correct location and remove the show's landscape.jpg.
To do that without episode thumbnails you have either change each episode's primary image to be the show thumbnail for every episode you don't want a custom image for (in addition to setting the custom images)
or; you have to set the custom image as the episode primary for each episode you want it for and exclude all images which take priority over the episode primary when jellyfin is looking for images to use.
The PR you posted shows the file path that was being used for those files is now being used for primary images.
Coding isn't really my area but from what it looks like to me a new filepath wasn't set.
