How to set custom cover images for an Album Set?

When creating an Album Set in LR, I can set the Cover Image to Custom. But where do I specify and upload the cover images now? Just in case I tried manually copying over the autoindex.xml and thumbnail that I had in CE4 but that's not recognised...

Thanks, Chris

I haven't tested this yet, but have you tried uploading your thumbnail to the album set's thumbnails/ folder?

Just tried this. It works.

Yes that's what I tried - copying the autoindex.xml from that album set in CE4 to galleries/albumsetname/ and the thumbnail to galleries/albumsetname/thumbnails/ 

It was a while ago that I set these up in CE4 and can't remember how I did. I don't remember having to manually create an autoindex.xml though...

Ah - worked it out. It's not recognising a .png file. Tried with a .jpg and it worked - without the autoindex.xml file.

autoindex.xml is not used with Backlight.

That's fine. I was using a series of png files in CE4 but I'll convert them to jpg.

Thanks
