    Using version 2.0.40

    I want to change the thumbnail image showing in an album. When i go to the edit album section there is a drop down to select an image but its only showing about 30 images from one gallery, and its not the gallery i want to use.

    How can i put my own thumbnail or at least change the gallery it is selecting from.

    Many Thanks

  • @quiztoon If that gallery has many pictures and in the Manage gallery it occupies two or more pages (e.g., 30 x page), you have to select the album thumbnail from the page where the image is.

    HI thanks for your response.

    I dont quite understand what you mean.

    I have about 500 different galleries broken down into several albums.

    I know how to select the image in the gallery. The album is only allowing me to see 30 images from one gallery even though there are, in this instance, 12 different galleries in that particular album..

    I have not created pages for any of the albums, they are selected in the manage albums section.

    What if i wanted to use an album cover which was created by me and an actual photograph.

    For example my albums are split up in t dates. so in 2011 there are 12 albums one for each month and then in each month i have dragged the relevant galleries across into that album, the same for 2012, 2013 and now 2014.

    http://www.limelighthire.com/photo-booth-galleries/ this is the only created page which has the album called years in the page. The rest are inside that album and so on.

    Many thanks for taking the time to look.

    @quiztoon – Although not all images may be appearing in the drop-down selector for your specific album, you should still be able to type in the image (file) name (or part of its description) to narrow you choices and then select the image you want to use as you preview.

    – Cais.

    Thats it – thanks very much, just couldn’t work it out myself

    Must be having one of those days

    Thanks again

    @quiztoon – Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I thought you were talking about the gallery preview to display in an album page.
