So I deleted all the junctions ready for this patch, remade them all (taking a picture of them too) and still can't see the icon when I open up the junctions tab and STILL all I see is the stupid grey/white icon, really have no clue which of the 20 or so icons I want to place when glancing over them all, how can this not be fixed 2 months later?
Junction pictures still NOT SHOWING

when you save you do need to select which icon you want to use by click the little folder button in the save menu

yea it's defo not working still, just created a couple of roundabouts saved them, it keeps showing generic crossroads type of icon for everything, which is just as bad as the grey/white generic pattern as before.
I have no idea what's going on with the asset icons. I have one downloaded intersection that suddenly has an icon showing me what it is but the rest don't, so I have no idea whether I should delete them and resubscribe or whether the modders in question didn't do something they needed to or what. It's very frustrating.
Same here. I tried everything - icons does not work. I tried open up an old intersection in asset editor (after the update), loaded it in, took a snapshot, saved it with the snapshot. Still does not show an icon. I downloaded a few new intersections from the Workshop - they do not show. So can someone please please explain how we can get this to work?
It seems the icon can only be enabled for new assets, I tried loading in some old ones and re-saving but the thumbnail options are not there. Even with a new asset its not exactly user friendly but someone from CO did say on these forums they will try to get the icon generated and added automatically. If the author of the asset you download from the workshop hasn't added it correctly there doesn't seem to be a way of adding it manually either.
Thank you, barry! Somone said in a post above that they remade the assets and now they are working. How was this done? I can not believe CO are saying that they old assets will not work at all - there has to be a way 
I can do it? all you have to do is when you open the little folder button (not the top one the one in the bottom left) make sure there is a .png called "asset_thumb.png" for the thumbnail and a "asset_tooltip.png" for the tooltip icon. when you go back to the save panel, they will be loaded where they should. it's worked fine for me on all assets old and new and reproduced (meaning the ones i'm editing from the workshop). the only thing you have to start from scratch for completely is the new properties for the assets like the train/habour/plane assets that now accept outside connections. those ones you have to make a new asset using the *new/updated* default template. again which was fine, my suburban train station is now fully updated to include the tooltip icon and accepts outside connection trains.

If I open an old asset in the asset editor the tooltip image and thumbnail icon do not show up and there is no folder icon to click on, how do you add the png images in that case?
Exact same issues as barry. This is what I do.
1. Open the Asset Editor and press "Load".
2. Find the intersection I want to make an icon for and load into the editor.
3. Take a snapshot.
4. Goto SAVE asset and choose the snapshot I like. When I press the little folder in the _RIGHT_ corner of the image, all my snapshots are in that folder. BUT..
There is no icon option anywhere? Where am I supposed to be able to choose the icon? I am completely lost here - and it seems it works for most people, so any help would be very much appreciated

I have just found a work around for that issue, with junctions at least. If you create a new junction you can actual plop down your existing junction and with that you can add the icon thumbnail. It's a big job but it can be done. I would like to be able to do the same with my parks but as far as I can see I will have to recreate every park if I want the icon.
I tried that as well - I still have no option to put in an icon. Could you make a screenshot of your save asset menu, so I can see where it is you do this? :=)
Here's the save dialogue box, it only shows with new assets, or assets created with patch 1.1
You can access the various images used for thumbnail and tooltip etc. by clicking the small folder icon at the bottom right.
with old assets that part of the box is blank

AH! So - none of the assets created before yesterday will ever show in the game? They need to be assets made in 1.1? That sucks.. I really love those junctions by Timboh. Thank you very much for your help barry!
As I said above though, you can create a new junction asset and plop down the junction there and then save it as a new asset. It will become a local asset rather than a subscribed workshop asset but you can then add your own icon.
When I create my own asset, I have the same menu as you have, with the option for snapshot and icons. If I load in one of Timbohs intersections and go to the save asset, it is the old menu without this option. So no - it does not work for me unfortunately.
What you do Cedriq is create a NEW ASSET, do not load the old one. Then you plop the old asset in the work area, just as you would with any new asset you create... Then save the new asset and the options should be available....
Yeah, this is what I do
Go to TOOLS > Asset Editor > NEW.
Then I load asset, plop down the intersection.
Then SAVE asset -> Shows the old menu.
No, you do not load the asset after creating a new one. You go to the road menu at the bottom of the screen then choose an interchange to plop....
