Getting picture onto DLS

[Ken_Whit]

I am hoping to upload a UK narrow gauge route and scenario shortly. I understand most of the procedure, but how do I get a picture to appear under ’detailed’ in the DLS? I have added a thumbnail in the config file, is that sufficient or are there further steps to take? Thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure if this applies to 06 if that's what your using, but in 04 when creating the route as a cdp ready to send up you run Content Dispatcher and add the asset (your route).
Once you have done this you will be asked twice to name the image which should be 240x180 (or is that 180x240?), you can use a down-arrow to select the drive and then file name.
That's all I do, I have never put the image into the config and I have quite a few routes up. I don't think that can do any harm in any case...

Thanks Angela, but Ken and I both use TRS06. Can anyone help with the procedure for getting the picture onto the DLS please?

Just open the folder for edit and place the 240x180 pixel thumbnail in the folder along with the config file. Add the following lines to the config if they are not there already:
thumbnails
{
0 {
image "screenshot.jpg"
width 240
height 180
}
}

The name can be any name, not just "screenshot".
