Neptune Master Album, changing "child folder" thumbnail
Posted: 15 Mar 21, 17:47

I created a Master Album for all my major album categories, however the cover image that appears is the first image in each album. Ideally, I wish to have each sub-album in the master album show the Theme Image used in that album, but the first image in the album is always selected.

Is there a way to modify the settings to have each folder in the master album use the individual folder album's Theme image as it's thumbnail?

If this is not possible.... In reading the Neptune Manual, it states that:
"if you want to use another image, you can click the folder icon to the right of the Image URL field, and navigate to an image you want to use instead."
However I do not see any "folder icon" in any screen. Exactly how is this accessed?

This isn't a "skin thing" at all - it's how jAlbum handles web locations. It extracts an image from the page, usually one of the first ones it encounters in the page coding. Theme images are background images, so their file names don't appear on the page at all - they generally show up only in the CSS file, so jAlbum never finds them. But you can choose any image you want.

First screenshot, one of my master albums, with 4 web locations. Hover on the first thumbnail and choose More... Edit. Now the second screenshot shows how to select a different image for the thumbnail. You can enter a URL that points to an image on your site, or click the folder icon (arrow), and choose an image from your own PC (I usually find that easier).

OK, thanks. I think I'll take the easy way out as well <grin>.
