The image is normally provided separately from the link/file.
The first step is to set LDM/admin/settings/link_imagesize to the size of the thumbnail you want to display. Otherwise, you are not given the option to specify an image in the add/edit entry form. (Up to LDM version 2.2.9, you have to do this step explicitly. From 2.3.0, it will automatically pick up a value from vbulletin if necessary)
It is also a good idea to specify LDM/admin/settings/thumbs_dir, so that LDM can cache the thumbnails of your images, but this is not essential.
After you have done this, the add/edit entry form contain one or two extra fields, for pointing to an image and for uploading an image. (The field for uploading an image only appears if you have also enabled uploads.)
The thumbnail image is also created automatically in the following situations:
- Your main file is an image, or
- Your main file is an mp3 file containing albumart *and* you have installed the ID3tags extra for LDM.
