Step 4. Adding GUI images to the /screenshots folder

This step is optional. Do not skip it if you want to demonstrate the images of the application's GUI on the information page.

The information page of your web application is formed by Plesk (Plesk Control Panel -> Server -> Application Vault -> click on any installation package in the list). It can display the thumb image of GUI only. If the full-sized versions of GUI are provided, they will be displayed in a separate window (all in one) once the thumb image is clicked.

If you are going to use this feature, proceed through the following steps:

• First of all, you need at least one image file - the thumb image named app_screenshot_thumb.png. The file name and the PNG graphics format are fixed for any web application.
• Add the thumb image to the /screenshots folder of the installation package. There must be one and the only thumb image in this folder.
• If you need full-sized images of the application's GUI, create them as PNG files with the names formatted as follows:

app_screenshot_<screenshot_number>.png

The names of the full-sized image files are fixed for any web application. The <screenshot_number> section indicates the ordinal number of the image, e.g.:

app_screenshot_1.png
app_screenshot_2.png
app_screenshot_3.png

• Add the full-sized images to the /screenshots folder of the installation package. The number of such image files is unlimited.

Note: The thumb GUI image serves as the button on the information page of a web application. If one clicks on it, a separate window with full-sized images is opened. If the app_screenshot_thumb.png file is missing in the /screenshots folder, the thumb image will not appear on the information page, so the full-sized images put to the same /screenshots folder would be inaccessible .

Thus, if not skipped, this step should result in a set of GUI images added to the /screenshots folder of the installation package.
