Could have a default image to use for all categories where you haven't chosen a category thumbnail yet.

My above scheme will allow the user to choose a category thumbnail based upon the thumbs for the categories one level lower.
Actually it is possible to to upload to a category that does not have any images, tag it then hide it. (so in affect it still doesn't have any images - although the image count is out by one). However it would be nice to be able to do the following...

1) In the categories config page, under thumbnail - allow an image number to be inserted - this would enable us to re-use one image multiple times, without uploading it to different categories.

or

2) Enable a thumbnail image to be uploaded (maybe to My Gallery) without it displaying as an image on the site, and then being allocated to one or more categories as a thumnail image - useful again when you just want thumbnails on categories, without then appearing as images.

In any event, I think the thumbnails are one of the best features in PP now - simple but effective.
