How to add a picture to a download

[wasserlasser]

Hello everyone,

how can I add or edit a picture for a download?

Thanks

File Actions > Upload a New Version.

Did that but there is no upload option for a picture so that it shows in the overview.

Did you check your category settings to allow screenshots?  

[wasserlasser]

Yes, I did. It works for new uploads but not for uploads that had been converted when I moved from another Software to IPS.

You can edit screenshots on existing files.

I know, but it does not allow me to set one as the picture in the overview.

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.

I guess he needs to add the screenshots to the file description. IPS doesn't allow this.

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.

Sorry, but there is no option to Add Screenshots when I edit it, only when I create a new file.

Is it in the same category?

Please take a screenshot for us to confirm.

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]

Check setting in ACP > Downloads - Categories > Edit the category > Submissions > Allow screenshots?

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]

No problem.

You will need to enable "Allow Screenshots" in every category.
