 * I have a need to create custom icons for certain documents in a gallery. I see
   your previous comment about filters, but don’t understand how i would implement
   custom icons for certain documents.
 * I would greatly appreciate it if you could explain, but understand if this is
   a time drain for you.
 * thanks for the great plugin!

 * forget this request. after looking into the way that the plugin handles icons,
   it is based on file type extension, which makes sense. my need surrounds one 
   offs on known file type extensions, so this approach won’t work.

 * Hi cq,
 * If you’re dealing with one-off instances where you want a different icon, that
   can be achieved by uploading a custom icon.
 * If you go to `Dashboard -> Settings -> Document Gallery -> Thumbnail Management`,
   you’ll notice that there is an option to upload an icon for each of the attachments.
   This functionality is also included at the bottom of each attachment’s edit page.

 * that’s a great suggestion. However, when I go to thumbnail management, I get 
   a blank list. I am running the latest version.
 * I went through and disabled all plugins, one at a time, to see if i had a conflict,
   but no luck.
 * I looked on another site that is running it, with an older version. That showed
   thumbnails, but when I updated, the list went blank.
 * I also cannot change the icon from the media view, so not sure what’s going on
   here.
 * Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
 * thanks for the great plugin, btw, i should have said that upfront.

 * Hi cq,
 * Firstly, you’re very welcome! I’m glad it is proving useful for your.
 * For the Thumbnail Management tab, it will only include thumbnails for attachments
   that have been cached, so sometimes it will be empty.
 * When the attachment is not listed in that tab, you’ll want to go directly to 
   that attachment’s edit page. From the Meida Manager, accessed via the Media Library
   Dashboard tab, click the attachment you want to set the thumbnail for, then “
   edit more details” at the bottom, then you’ll see a place to upload an icon for
   that attachment when displayed in the Document Gallery.
