Map Page Settings page has Icon slot to show as thumbnail in the Folders view

Map Page Settings page needs an Icon slot to set a thumbnail in the Folders view Hello,  I hope my title is self-explanatory, but the icon that Roll20 chooses to "represent" my maps in the Folders view is rarely iconic for me. I would like a box in Page Settings similar to the Handout or Character Sheet Edit's screen (for Avatar) to drag an image from my library to represent it. Mock image - Thanks!

Hi GM Aurelien,  As a workaround, you can select your thumbnail by placing an image on the map layer underneath everything. If it is the largest image on the board it will be the thumbnail in your page settings. 
Thanks Gauss -- that workaround does not let me choose orientation and I fear will reduce performance for users... : )

Why wouldn't it let you choose orientation? You can flip the image in an art program and save it that way, then upload that.  As for reduced performance, it is standard practice for the conversion team, it hasn't reduced performance that I am aware of.  The large image is a low resolution image so doesn't impact performance.

Gauss said: The large image is a low resolution image so doesn't impact performance. I voted +1 for the Suggestion, I like the suggestion, but this workaround is functional in the meantime.  In regards to this....  The icon is set by the Largest Stretched (resized) image on the page. Not necessarily the image that inherently has the highest resolution or largest amount of pixels.  So you can take a low resolution or small graphic, stretch it in Roll20 to become the largest graphic on the page, move it to Map Layer, and then "Send To Back".  Thus it is not adding much performance overhead, but creates a Page icon.
