Setting representative for parent albums

In this post http://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=27833 I was told how to assign a rep representative to an album - the solutions here work only if the photos are in the album.  I have many parent albums that have only other albums in them.  These parent albums are having the representative set for them randomly and then I see no way to change them.  I have searched for how to do this but all I can find is basically what was in the post listed above, nothing works for this parent album situation.  It is important for me to change these because many of the auto selected ones are not appropriate and theses parent albums are the first presented to the visitor.  Please help me find where to change the parent  album representative.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Setting representative for parent albums

Go to the Edit page of the photo you want to use for the album and then choose which album you want it to be the "representative" photo for with the "Album Thumbnail" dropdown.

Note that ANY photo can be the thumbnail for ANY album, it doesn't necessarily have to be in that album or any of the child albums. A photo can even be the thumbnail for multiple albums. Piwigo pretty flexible this way.

Thank you for taking the time to provide excellent instructions -  I saw that area but was confused by the wording - now I understand got it to work.
