Is there documentation on how screenshots for project pages should be created and maintained? How should the "attached images" and "project resources/screenshots" fields be used?

I wanted to upload two screen shots for http://drupal.org/project/watchspy; when I uploaded the first one, there was a warning about no preview image, but I couldn't find a field for it or anything in the handbook about it. Now I have an image that's too big, and cannot find a way to remove it. I don't want to try replacing it until I understand how previews are handled.

Apparently there is no way to manage attached images, at least according to issues http://drupal.org/node/460750 and http://drupal.org/node/669098. Is there a way to remove or change them? I am the maintainer, but see no links on my edit screen.

Please remove the current attached image for me if this is something I can't do myself.

This is just the d.o configuration, nothing specifically about the Project module itself. Also, the whole way we handle project screenshots is crappy and broken. See #669098: A way to delete and attached image on module project page for example.

Moreover, this whole system is going to be rebuilt in the near future as part of the d.o redesign. See #851982: Multiple Images per Project. I'm tempted to just mark this "won't fix", but if someone wants to try to help out here, knock yourself out. ;) I don't know of any way (short of direct DB queries and filesystem changes, which I could do but won't) to remove something attached with our current system.

Point being, I'd rather put time into making better tools than fumbling around trying to hack around our current crappy ones.

This should be fixed now after #371999: Configure multiple images for project nodes, screenshots can be removed/changed. Please re-open if there are still any problems.
