Select key photo in Year/Months/Day

Hi there,


is there any way to change the key photo, that photos had decided as cover photo for years and months? I'd rather see some nice landscape pictures instead of random people...

In Peoples you can change the key photo so I don't know why this shouldn't be possible here as well.


Thanks in advance!

There is no way to change the key photo in the Library views. Photos will pick a different key photo, if you hide the current key photo, but Photos seems to favor photos of smiling people and pets. I stopped using the Years, Months, Days, because the key photos are not helpful to find the major events of the year. I am using smart albums instead, where I can change the keyframes.
