In nextGen gallery, when I try to add a preview image, I have a dropdown list with only 7 choices that I cannot seem to change.
How do I pick a new preview image for an album? or edit my list?
See the attached image illustrating the problem HERE.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks very much.

Hi,
you have to choose from an image of your gallery. If you don't want use one of them you can add a new image to the gallery, then click on exclude field of the image and finally choose it from the dropdown list!
So you have your preview image that will not displayed as a picture of the gallery.
:)
P.S.
Hope you'll understand my fine English.

I'm seeing this same behavior, jmherzon. mcseller, I think the original poster was trying to say that the list of available images for album preview is strangely limited.
I'm using the latest version 1.7.2, and I'm seeing the same list of available images in the album preview drop down. I'd like to use other images from older galleries, but these aren't available.
try to search for them... As it's now not only a dropdown field

Wow, impressive! Sure enough, I typed in an image file name, and the drop down returned the ID number and image title. Wow!
Your work is quite impressive!

I found my way here because only 20 out of 50 images are showing as available in the Preview image dropdown on of my client's sites. Sure enough, I was able to type in the correct number and have the correct image returned, so that is great!
However, I have a lot of clients who are not terribly technologically advanced, and this is really puzzling for them. In the case of this one client, she has used re-e-e-e-ally long filenames. Would that effect how many preview items can be shown?
Is it a bug in the program, or are there suggestions I should be making to my clients, or just tell how to (counterintuitively) fix it?
Thanks so much!!!
