Good morning, from Venezuela.

How can I configure kanboard so that the first image that I attach as a file or as a screenshot is defined as the image of the card?

The plugin requires you to set the image. You would have to recode it to automatically select the first image. I dont think Timo or I have any desire to change that functionality.

I was reflecting with those who asked me for this feature, the inconvenience of it being automatic, much more if the miniatures are captures of code editors. 😂😂

Thank you very much for the correspondence.

maybe one day if i get bored, i’ll look into adding as a preference setting.

I haven’t seen bluetek working on much in kanboard recently, so doubtful he will.

Add it to the repo as a feature request, so i don’t forget.
