Let DM choose picture for the pages on the Page Toolbar

Hi, please let me choose the visual for my Pages - I thought I knew how it worked, as you simply drop an image and the Page uses the first one dropped as the default image, but no... it updated to my generic background image that I added later. I've spent 10 minutes trying to change things around to make it update to the picture I want, with no luck.  I'd very much like to just be able to pick the image I'd want to represent the Page, either as an option on the settings of said Page or by right-clicking on an image or token and adding it as the icon for the Page. Thanks!
The thumbnail that appears is whichever image is sized to be largest on the screen (the game assumes that the largest image is the map image). So a good trick to to make a thumbnail sized version of whichever image you want to be the page thumbnail, and put that on the map layer behind  your actual map image, but stretched as large as the entire page.  Using photo editing software it's pretty easy to create a smaller sized version.  This is also useful if you have such a large map image that you have to 'cut' it into several smaller pieces to help with image loading or file max sizes.  Create a 'combined' image with a much lower resolution and stretch it out to fill the entire area, which then helps with placing the individual full resolution images in the correct place.
Yeah I figured that out eventually. I still think it would be much simpler to get to pick what you want to represent your Page rather than having to hide the image you want behind another image. You have to crop your Page in order to properly hide it behind another image, or else drag it out of bounds.
