   Great plugin!

   Right now it looks like it adds the column to any post type that supports featured images, and adds featured image support to post and page.

   I recommend creating a filtered array, $post_types, so developers can specify exactly where it shows up.

   $post_types = array();
   if( post_type_supports( 'post', 'thumbnail' ) $post_types[] = 'post';
   if( post_type_supports( 'page', 'thumbnail' ) $post_types[] = 'page';
   $post_types = apply_filters( 'featured_image_column_post_types', $post_types );

   That way, if I want to limit it to just my "rotator" post type, I can drop this in the functions.php file:

   function be_featured_image_columns( $post_types ) {
   	return 'rotator';
   }
   add_filter( 'featured_image_column_post_types', 'be_featured_image_columns' );

   Great idea. Which function would I drop that into?

   I'd recommend creating a separate function in the class:

   function included_post_types( $post_type ) {
   	$post_types = array();
   	if( post_type_supports( 'post', 'thumbnail' ) $post_types[] = 'post';
   	if( post_type_supports( 'page', 'thumbnail' ) $post_types[] = 'page';
   	$post_types = apply_filters( 'featured_image_column_post_types', $post_types );
   	if( in_array( $post_type, $post_types )
   		return true;
   	else
   		return false;
   }

   Then, everywhere you're checking to see if the current post type supports thumbnails, replace it with this function. For example, at the top of columns(), change this:

   if ( !post_type_supports( $post_type, 'thumbnail' ) )
   	return;

   To this:

   if( !self::included_post_types( $post_type ) )
   	return;

   This is all untested though

   I'll play around with this.
