    Hello again.
    I'm certainly missing something here but when I use printCustomAlbumThumbMaxSpace() to display a thumb per gallery inside gallery.php, the function returns a random image extracted from each gallery.

    I don't know any way to specifie it to choose only the first image of each gallery...
    Could you help me?

    <?php while (next_album()): ?>
          <div class="album">
            <div class="thumb">
              <a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(getFirstImageURL());?>" title="<?php echo gettext('>>:'); ?> <?php echo getBareAlbumTitle();?>">

                <?php printCustomAlbumThumbMaxSpace(getBareAlbumTitle(), '800', '300', null, null, null); ?>

                <div class="albumdesc">
                  <h3><?php printAlbumTitle(); ?></h3>

                  <?php echo truncate_string(getAlbumDesc(), 45); ?>

                </div>
              </a>
            </div>
          </div>
          <?php endwhile; ?>

    Albumthumbs are always randomly taken from the gallery if you don't set a fixed album thumb on the album admin page.

    Note also that you can change the default thumbnail selection criteria from the reset thumbnails utility on the overview page

    yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
    thank you!
    the "choose this image as album cover " had just done the trick.
    So evident I didn't saw it ;)
    And the shuffle mode from the reset thumbnails page is a way back.
    This way one can switch between fixed and random images with the same function.

    Each step I make into that soft proves me its totally clever conception - the code documentation is also a masterpiece.
    As a webdesigner popping out off a loads of bloated web apps, coding with zenphoto is a holyday trip.

    Thanks again Mr billard, Mr acrylian, and the others regular contributors.
