wasserlasser Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Hello everyone, how can I add or edit a picture for a download? Thanks
wasserlasser Posted February 5, 2017 Author Posted February 5, 2017 Did that but there is no upload option for a picture so that it shows in the overview.

wasserlasser Posted February 12, 2017 Author Posted February 12, 2017 Yes, I did. It works for new uploads but not for uploads that had been converted when I moved from another Software to IPS.
Joel R Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 You can edit screenshots on existing files. On 2/4/2017 at 3:11 PM, Joel R said: File Actions > Upload a New Version.
wasserlasser Posted February 13, 2017 Author Posted February 13, 2017 I know, but it does not allow me to set one as the picture in the overview.
Joel R Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Once you upload multiple photos to Screenshots (not the file description), you should see a small gray radio button in lower left hand corner of each image. Choose the image you want as primary.

wasserlasser Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 If I add it to the file description it does not show either as a picture in the overview.
Joel R Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 2 hours ago, wasserlasser said: If I add it to the file description it does not show either as a picture in the overview. That's because the file description is not the same as screenshot. They're two separate fields and that is intentional by design in IP.Downloads. You shouldn't be adding your pictures to the file description anyways; your images should be uploaded specifically to the Screenshots record, which is from where IPS will pull the images. As I stated before, File Actions > Upload a New Version > Screenshots. You'll see that once you upload your images to Screenshots, you can select an image to "Make this your primary screenshot". If you are uploading an image to Screenshots and it's not displaying, then that's a problem and you should send in a Support Ticket. But if you're adding an image to file description, you're doing it wrong.
wasserlasser Posted February 18, 2017 Author Posted February 18, 2017 Sorry, but there is no option to Add Screenshots when I edit it, only when I create a new file.

wasserlasser Posted February 18, 2017 Author Posted February 18, 2017 I am going to this file http://bionic-salmon.com/board/index.php?/files/file/3-motorsport-manager-driver-editor/ I click File Actions > Upload a New Version and get this image
Joel R Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Check setting in ACP > Downloads - Categories > Edit the category > Submissions > Allow screenshots?
wasserlasser Posted February 18, 2017 Author Posted February 18, 2017 Thank you so much for your help and patience. That was the problem. Seems like when I imported it from the other Software this did not "turn on". Thanks again
Joel R Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 No problem. You will need to enable "Allow Screenshots" in every category.
