What is it that actually sets the thumbnail image on Steam Workshop?

It's supposed to be a 588x512 JPG named ModPreview.jpg and - as far as I know - that's the only constraint.

 

For two of my three mods it's working but I can't get it to work for the third one.

 

When I click Publish in ModBuddy it claims everything's succeeded and I do see text stating it's pushing and pushed the preview image up, prior to claiming success.

 

I've also uploaded it via the Steam Workshop interface itself and set it as the first image, which some forums I've seen suggest is actually what makes a thumbnail.

 

So far, I'm still thumbnail-less. :\

 

Does anybody happen to know precisely what needs to be done; so far my guesswork has not paid off for me.

 

Thanks in advance. :)

The thumbnail does come from that ModPreview.jpg file, but I think it takes it from the compiled mod in your Steam folder, not the source in your ModBuddy folder. If you edited the picture in the source directory at the very end of creating your mod, you may have to build the mod again using ModBuddy to copy the image over to the Steam folder before publishing.
