Set Template Icon....

[hockeyjx]

I did some searching, but I can't find where/how to do that. There was a video that said put it in the notes, but that did not work. I don't know if there is a size/filetype requirement either, because maybe that is the issue.

I know this is something that isn't really important, but I'd still like to know.

i first create my template as a normal cwp file. then once i save and close it, a make a copy and rename it with a .cwt extension. copy/move that file into the template folder(s). for some reason, the save-as template doesn't seem to capture the image added into the notes section. so the "save as cwp -> then copy -> rename cwt" trick works reliably every time.

save as cwp -> make copy & rename extension

then in the start screen:

@Glenn Stanton Worked perfectly! Thank you!

What is weird, to me, is that the existing project templates don't have a picture that I can see. Like I said, low on the scale, but happy to customize!

[Glenn Stanton]

some of the default or sample projects have images. but most do not.

[hockeyjx]

I meant the project template tiles in New Project HAVE an image, but when you open them up, the do NOT have an image in Notes ...just to clarify.

strange. i have images in the start screen, in the source cwp, and in the cwp generated from the template. it's important to remember to always follow the source -> target approach because editing the template directly or saving it directly (typically) removes the image.

see example: one saved as template -- the front of the template file is missing the image data. for the second, copy source cwp to target cwt, the front of the file contains the image data.
