This is an important feature thats really lacking in the visualist community. There hasn't been much work done in this area, but as with most things OSC, if someone does it well everyone eventually follows suit.
Ideally you'd be able to set a button or pad to have an image fill from a second osc source, the one sending binary images of media thumbnails.
If you guys have any interest I can help get some visualist software developers working on it as well.
