Scene thumbnails in the Project Editor

Hi, I've about 30 scenes at the moment, with more to follow. I need to rearrange them, and the most convenient way would be in the Home Project Editor, as you know. The trouble is, only 5 of the image thumbnails are showing in the Scenes section.

Is there a way to ensure all of the thumbnails show, does anyone know please? Or is this a known bug? Hardly any of the thumbnails show in Scenes menu in the Scene Editor either...

    Click on that specific scene, preview it, click the camera on the right side, and press set as scene screenshot. Not sure if thats what you are trying to do, so could you be more specific?

    Hi artonskyblue, appreciate help but I'm talking about the scenes in the Scenes section of the Project Editor (Home), not showing the background image thumbnails; not the Scene Editor. (although the Scene icon/Button there doesn't show the image thumbnails either).

    For any GS newcomers, the scene thumbnails can also be set, in Preview, by double clicking a scene to go to. Then the image thumbnail appears. I've been using GS long enough to know that, but I didn't; only just realised it; oh well!

    One annoying thing though, when the image thumbnails are made this way, the drag bar sets itself back at the left end; can see any advantage in this at all; nine times out of ten the next scene you'll want a thumbnail for will be the one after the one you've just double-clicked, and that might be with the drag bar set away from the left end. If you get my drift.

    :-)
