Question about album representative thumbnail

Hello,

Maybe a bit of a strange question, but how to control the album representative thumbnail for albums with only sub-albums (no pictures)?

The help mentions:
If the album contains only sub-albums and no photo, it can nonetheless be represented by any element thanks to Modify informations about a photo screen. The only option on the current screen is the Delete representant button.

But to me it doesn't make sense. At least .. I do not understand fully (sorry).

Per album I set the representative thumbnail manually from the picture page.
This is done at "Album thumbnail" but I can only select one album.
What I want is that the album which only has sub-album, uses the last added album representative thumbnail.

To explain.
Home / Holidays / 2014...
                             2013...

So the Holidays album has no pictures, only sub-albums (2014... and 2013...).
But I want the representative thumbnail for Holidays be the same as 2014... (the last added sub-album).

Hope you understand.

But how can I do this or is this, at the moment, not possible?

Thanks,

I just went through this about ten minutes ago.

Try this.

Make sure you are logged in, and go to the photo you want to use. Click modify which will take you to the admin page for the photo. From there, look for album thumbnail. Pick the album you wish and save.

Hope that helps.

As I said you can only select one .. not?

So I have picture x under 2014... album and I select this picture to be "Album thumbnail" for 2014... but how to select the same picture for Holidays as well?

I can choose the same photo for multiple albums.

After choosing one album, choose another and save.

I see .. I just tried and it seems to work. Not sure why I didn't get this the first time.

Thanks anyway :-)

Probably a good idea as I have been glued to the forums as I put my Gallery together.
