Thumbnail

Every page has a thumbnail. This is a small image (128 x 128 pixels) used to represent the page's content. Thumbnails can be used in may areas of a site. For example, in an index such as a photo grid:


For Photo pages, Sandvox also displays the thumbnail for the page's icon in the Site Outline:

To set a page's thumbnail:

  2. Open the Page Inspector.
  3. Drag the new thumbnail image onto the "Thumbnail" box. This can be from the Media Browser, the Finder or another application.

    Thumbnail Inspector

For certain page types (Photo and Movie), Sandvox automatically sets the thumbnail from the page's content.

If you try to set a thumbnail image that is larger than 128x128 pixels, Sandvox automatically resizes and sharpens it.

To reset or remove a page's thumbnail:

  1. Select the page in the Site Outline.
  2. Open the Page Inspector.
  3. Click the Remove Inspector Image button. Depending on the type of page selected, this will either completely remove the thumbnail or reset it to the default.
