Thumbnail images must be the same file name as the larger image file names; otherwise, Portfolio will not be able to connect the two images correctly.
As a guide, below are some thumbnail shapes and sizes that look great in any device orientation.
Square: 75x75 px
Square: 100x100 px
Portrait Rectangle: 103x150 px
Landscape Rectangle: 158x106 px
And for the daring: 320x100 px or 480x150 px
