I just tried to upload a movie to my gallery (for the first time) and I had previously created thumbnails for all of my movies.. but can't find a way to change the default thumbnail to the thumbnails i had captured.. help?

Right now the only way to do this is to re-run the config wizard and enter a path there (on page 2 of the wizard) or to edit your config.php directly. We let you specify one movie thumbnail which is used for all movies.

but i want to do one thumbnail per movie.. not one thumbnail for each movie.. i tried to name my thumbnails properly and then overwrite the thumbnails in the album directory, but they are owned by apache and so i can't delete them.. you can edit thumbnails for pictures, why not for movies? add the browse function or something? also is there a way that i can be notified via email if my post gets replied to?

thanks for your quick reply btw, that was great :smile:

Notification: click the [edit my preferences] link in the forums.

This is a low priority feature that we've been too busy to work on, especially since we're not adding features to G1.x. Sorry.

I think this is already in our feature request database (but it's worth checking). It'll definitely be in G2, though.
