With Pinterest it should not currently be working, because from Imagevue you are generally sharing a PAGE not an image. Facebook and most services are of course welcome to sharing pages (with thumbnail), but pinterest is only for sharing an image.

So, this would not be working out-of-the-box with pinterest, but it should work with Facebook. If its not working for you, please send me the link you are attempting to share. Here it is working with our demo gallery:

It chooses the first thumbnail it can find in your folder structure. You can hardcode the thumbnail by editing the file iv-includes/templates/default/, approximately line 25: ... change to ... In the above, just add a direct absolute path to the image you wish to represent you. After you have changed and uploaded the file, you will need to run your gallery link in the Facebook debugger so that FB refreshes its cached preview.
