For each game, we would like to have a small (say, between 2 and 5) number of screenshots which give users a good idea of what the game looks like to play. If the game is available in different languages or versions, it would also be nice to have a screenshot or two showing the differences of those versions. | For each game, we would like to have a small (say, between 2 and 5) number of screenshots which give users a good idea of what the game looks like to play.

** Currently, thumbnails that correspond to the PNG screenshots have to be created manually. | |||
** This is done using [https://imagemagick.org/script/convert.php ImageMagick's ''convert'' command line tool]. | |||
** There should be a mkthumb.sh script available in the scummvm-web repository, which includes the required ''convert'' command call and which you could run as:<br /><code>./mkthumb.sh gametarget[-platform][-lang]-X</code> | |||
** The above command assumes there is a screenshot file (PNG) named ''gametarget[-platform][-lang]-X-full.png'' in the same folder. See above for valid values for each part of the name. | |||
** Alternatively, and assuming you have the ImageMagick package installed (tested with ImageMagick 7.0.9-17) you could directly run the command:<br /><code>convert gametarget[-platform][-lang]-X-full.png -interlace line -quality 66 -thumbnail 256 gametarget[-platform][-lang]-X.jpg</code> | |||
