Cover Image Appearing at Higher Levels

In redoing my website using the pangolin modules, I am creating album sets within my highest-level album set. How can I get the cover images of my albums to appear in the thumbnail grid of my highest-level album set? See http://charleskinghorn.com/bl2test/galleries/.

Edit the album sets themselves. Under Base Settings choose the cover image for each.

That works if a single image is selected, but I want the random selection which works at the lower level.

In that case, export some representative images from the albums within a set. Make them the necessary size. Then upload  them via FTP to the album set’s thumbnails/ folder. I think album sets contain a thumbnails/ folder. If not, just make one.
Do this for all albums sets.

Thanks, Rod; that works like a charm. A bit of extra work, but it gives me that animation that I like.
