Mylio Photos evaluates several criteria to determine which photos are featured in your LifeCalendar, used as cover photos for Folders, Albums, and People, which images are prioritized for local storage, and how metadata is merged when using Photo DeDupe.

Photo Prioritization settings can be manually adjusted to customize how your images are displayed in Mylio Photos, ensuring that your favorite memories are always at your fingertips.

Adjust the Photo Prioritization

  1. Click the ellipsis icon in the top app bar to access the More menu and choose Settings.
  2. Choose Organization and select Photo Prioritization.
  3. Click the handle next to each item to drag it up or down to change the priority.
    • Items at the top of the list are the highest priority. For example, if Five Star is moved to the top of the list, Mylio Photos will attempt to locate a 5-star image for each year, month, and day on your LifeCalendar, or as the cover photo for a Folder or Album.
  4. When you’re done adjusting the priority of each item, click the back arrow then click the to close the settings window.

I can't see how to select a specific photo as cover photo for a folder or other view.
