Thumbnail gone after asset/bp name changed or moved

Hello

Not critical but tiring bug (I think bug or better omission). After renaming blueprint with a thumbnail (created before by Asset Actions/Capture Thumbnail) thumbnail is cleared. Clearing is not necessary, because this is same blueprint (in this case actor bp), with same object etc, just name changed. With a lot of actor blueprints for rename what is sometimes required, this is no good.

Thank you.

Edit - topic changed, thumbnail gone when asset is moved to different directory.

Hello Vaheva,

I was unable to reproduce your issue on our end, I have a couple of questions to help narrow down the issue you experiencing.

  1. Can you reproduce this issue in a new project?
  2. If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps so that I can reproduce this issue on our end?
  3. Could you provide screenshots or video of your issue?

Thanks!

Thank you - fingers crossed - I have tons of different inventory actors and this is important I think :slight_smile:

This is still not resolved, from 4.16.3 Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-50575)

And still not solved in 21.
I wonder if there’s a shortcut at least, so we can capture thumbnails fast.

Still not resolved 4 years later. This is a major issue for those of us on the creative side who rely on thumbnails.

I agree, this is really annoying and should be fixed
