# Exclude Thumbnail from Slideshow

 * Kind of new to NextGen Gallery, so be patient with my naiveté.
 * I’m working on a site and have added some galleries, using a single thumbnail
   to open them up. When you click on the gallery thumbnail, it displays the thumbnail
   first, then the rest of the images in the gallery. You can see it, here:
 * [My Site](http://www.voxcambridge.com/gallery/)
 * Is there a way for me to keep the thumbnail as is, but NOT show it in the slideshow
   popup, when clicked? I tried excluding it in the manage galleries screen, but
   that affects displaying the thumbnail on the page, so that won’t work.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * [@greghof](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greghof/) – This is an interesting
   idea but not currently possible with the existing album / gallery structures …
   although please feel free to make your thoughts and ideas about this known via
   our Feature Request form here: [http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/)
