It is currently possible to make one of the images in an album this album's thumbnail, which is a very nice feature. However, I miss an option to revert the album back to the default icon (in other words, to make the album thumbnail-less). Of course, this can be done manually by creating a new empty folder and moving the images over there, but its far from intuitive and makes it necessary to manually copy the album's other metadata (description, date) to the new folder.
Having a thumbnail-less album can be quite a good thing. For example, I keep images which I don't want to show to most people (e.g. snapshots of important documents) in a separate folder and want to keep it thumbnail-less (since the images are not to be accidentally displayed). And since a new album doesn't have a thumbnail by default until you set one (as od digikam 0.8.0), being able to get back to this thumbnail-less state after you accidentally set some thumbnail is also a good thing for the UI's consistency.
