Hi George,

To have a particular thumbnail show on browse and search results pages set
the 'parent' jpeg as primary. (We are currently on 1.5.2 JSPUI and this
works for us.) Note: A 1.6 update allows the primary bitstream to be set in
the item importer / exporter.

The link behavior of the thumbnail can be set to either item or bitstream in
dspace.cfg

The following used to be included in the documentation, although I didn't
find it looking quickly through the new documentation:

   - where the primary bitstream is HTML, no thumbnail is shown;
   - where the primary bitstream has a thumbnail, its thumbnail is shown;
   - where the primary bitstream is not set, the first thumbnail found by
   DSpace will be shown;
   - where the user does not have read access to the thumbnail bitstream, no
   thumbnail is shown;
   - currently, for a thumbnail to display, a JPEG thumbnail under the
   current implementation rules must exist (i.e. primary bitstream name with
   ".jpg" suffix).
