How do I get a screenshot into the route Menu

[DickTurpin]

I want to upload a route,but I am being told to include a thumb-nail. I have loads of screenshots,
but how do I get one in the Routes menu, or the DLS? Any information gratefully accepted.

In Content Manager, R-click your route, Edit -> Open in Explorer.

Copy the screenshot you want to use into the list of assets. Resize your screenshot using Paint.net, IrfanView or GIMP (all free) to 240 x 180 pixels.

Rename the screenshot to anything you like as you save the resized version. Delete the original to save space.

Open the config.txt file and insert this anywhere before the kuid table:

thumbnails
{
0
{
image "map.jpg"
width 240
height 180
}
}

changing "map.jpg" to the name of your resized .jpg.

Save config.txt, close back to Content Manager, R-click -> Edit -> Commit.

And that's it.

}

...And that's it

Except that route (and session) thumbnails in TS10 and up are 512 x 512

Really? If that is true, that might be why my route and session aren't accepting the thumbnail.

It's true, but you have another problem! A 240 x 180 will work, but gets distorted to fit the square window. if yours isn't showing up at all there is something else amiss...
