Hi, as "category image" can be set:

- image from category or subcategory (you can set ordering to select last, first, random, etc.)
- folder icon
- avatar of user (if this is an user category)

I mean how to decide an exact image to use as an icon of the category. I do not want random or chronological order available in the dropdown menu. I would choose the photo that will be the icon of the category.

if you set e.g. ordering by order - then the first image will be displayed (or last image), then just move the images, so your selected image will be set as first (resp. last, etc.)

no, I'm sorry ... I have not solved the problem completely. in doing so I get to set the preferred image as album art, but we'll see the photo gallery content as well. I do not want that image is visible entering in the album! :idea:

I think it's a useful tip ... give way, when you create a category, assign an icon image by uploading a file. Or by assigning an alternate method, beyond that set by the control panel.
