Choose "Feature Photo" or "Album Cover" in Publish to FaceBook Tool

WinsomeWorks

The Publish to Facebook function (found under the "Share" button if you're logged in) is working pretty smoothly now, and we can publish an album (from our gallery) to FB with a number of good options, either to our FB Timeline (profile) or to our FB Page. I use this feature a lot & especially like it that I can keep my photos watermarked.

One thing is missing, & I'm hoping it can get added-- the ability to choose a photo as the "Feature Photo" (or FB calls it "Make Album Cover") during the Publishing process. Here's the problem: Since we can't choose a photo during the Publish process, by the time we go to FB & see our album, it's already in people's newsfeed with random photos (usually the first few from the album) as the featured photos. Often the randomly-selected photos make poor thumbnails & don't attract viewers. Yes, we can go on FB & choose an "Album Cover" there, but that's clumsy.. and as I've said, it's much too late for newsfeed.

The Publish to Facebook function...

Excellent point and request!

I agree that it would be a great feature. If you could head over to the feedback site (http://feedback.smugmug.com) and place the request there, it will help us get a feel for how many people would like this feature as well. I did a search and couldn't find the feature requested before so you'll be the first to post the idea that I'm sure many will love to vote on!
