Ok, but sometimes was a picture of category changed if i set ordering... after I must delete all pictures and again add pictures
I would prefer this option in phocagallery...

It would be good have to choice in admin panel. Maybe by ID of picture... Or not?
If no then in which line is code for assigment picture to category?
Thank you.

Hi, added to feature request list.

Yes, you can set it when ordering will be changed, but mostly an ordering you set only once - when creating the site, then it is mostly not changed anytime

To change it in code, depends on where you want to change it - if in categories view or in category view:

components/com_phocagallery/views/categories/tmpl/default.php (or other files in this folder - depends on options)
components/com_phocagallery/views/category/tmpl/default_images.php

and of course there are used functions which are set in libraries folder or helper folder.

Hi, for now I still don't have any time or date for this

Is there any way for you to just use the first image in the category. Usually it is done that users will add some picture, such is set as first and if they don't want, such picture will be displayed in category, they make it "not authorized".

Not authorized means - such image will be displayed as folder icon but it will be not displayed in category.
In fact it is the same like you select ID of the image. It is just another form, the first picture is displayed as folder icon
