I can not figure out how to set a Cover Image for an Album Set that is password protected.
I already found the documentation on how to set custom thumbnails. This works great but only on single Albums. As soon as I set a cover image on an album set it is displayed properly. But if I change to “password protected” in Lightroom the cover image is not shown.
Background: I’d like to set up an Album Set for each customers. This album set needs to be password protected.
I believe that this is a security feature. Since the album set is private, that assumes all the images within that set are private and therefore are not shown as a cover image.
I thought that maybe this could be bypassed by uploading a custom image as the cover image (something like a jpg made in Photoshop with just text), but that didn’t work either.
That might be a nice feature though. (I have no idea if it’s possible)
For now, you’ll need to rely on the the title of the Album Set to identify it to customers.
and replace “\f1c5” with the unicode for the icon you want to use. You’ll also probably want to increase the font size. For example, this code uses the “circle-user” icon:
