[WP8.1] Can I set custom thumbnail for StorageFile?

Question

Hi!
I want set thumbnail for file that I created (before or after doesn't matter) in my Windows Phone application. 
Can I do this or not. If yes - how can I do this?
StorageFile.CreateStreamedFileAsync method doesn't supported for Windows Phone  8.1. It is one way that I knew for set thumbnail for StorageFile.

Thanks.
Regards,Nikita.

Answer 1

You could try the StorageFile.GetThumbnailAsync method:

The CreateStreamedFileFromUriAsync method is not supported on Windows Phone 8.1.

Hope that helps.

I'm afraid there is not a method for you to set thumbnail for a StorageFile in Windows Phone 8.1.

However, it is possible for you to get the thumbnail with the StorageFile.GetThumbnailAsync method Magnus mentioned above, or use the GetScaledImageAsThumbnailAsync method.

Hi Nikita Bondarenko,

As @Victory S said, there is not a method for us to set thumbnail for a StorageFile in Windows Phone 8.1.

I will recommend you submit this feature request/suggestion to Microsoft on this UserVoice forum.

Thanks for your understanding.
