How do I change the thumbnail of my project in my stuff. It seems to have automatically selected the last image which is not what I want as it is just a black screen at the end.

Can I change it to an earlier image and if so how?

This is the project I am talking about.

Im not sure,
but I think when your in the editor. In the images section select the image you want and then save.

Add a script or somthing, then remove it to make it saveable. Then, set up what you want for your thumbnail. Just save when it comes around.

You can time it just right if you want graphic effects or clones to show up, or you can draw your own thumbnail that fades away or immediately goes away when the project starts. Show it before saving.

Before sharing your project, save it as a copy (File>Save as a copy) with the picture you want.
Then just delete the “copy” word of your game's name, and you've got it.

Hope I help.

Use the normal Save ( File>Save ). The SaveAs method will create a new project and you'll have to delete the old copy with the unwanted project thumbnail along with all of its notes and comments. Whatever is on the player screen at the time you save it will be the project's thumbnail. I often hit {StopSign} at a good spot and arrange the sprites to set up a good project thumbnail. Clones disappear when you hit {StopSign}, so you if you want clones to show up, you have to just try and time the save with a nice screenshot or set up your screenshot with scripting.

You forgot to mention Failord]'s hint, which is what actually works:

Another idea is to add a script to “pause” (ok, really stop) the project. Then, run your project and press the key when you like how it looks. Then, save it!

The thumbnail of your project is a screenshot of your project when you last saved. When I am done working on one of my projects, I go to the part of the game I want, then save.

That worked for me! Thanks!!

ok, this is what you need to do: first, make a sprite in the editor, and design it how you want the thumbnail to look. then, in the scripts, say:

do this for the thumbnail spirite:

Without activating the game (If you can) get to the scene you want and move a single script (Or drag in a different block, do anything to make the project's save button appear) Make sure you are at the scene you want the thumbnail at, and click save. It should change if done right!

Use these scripts
When *green flag clicked*
Hide

Show
go to front
go to x()y()
Hope I helped!

By File>Save, do you mean File>Save now?
