Support for jDownloads 3 has been ended
Since 17 August 2023 Joomla.org has discontinued support for Joomla 3.x. Therefore, we will no longer offer official support for our Joomla 3 jDownloads version 3.9.x from January 2024.
Please update your website to the latest Joomla version (Joomla 4 or Joomla 5) as soon as possible. Afterwards, please update jDownloads to the latest published version. The longer you delay, the more difficult the upgrade process for your website is likely to be.

Hi

the placeholder {thumbnail} typically appears in the Files layouts as
<div class="jd_image_right" style="">{screenshot_begin}<a href="{screenshot}" rel="lightbox"><img src="{thumbnail}" style="" />[/url]{screenshot_end}</div>
And in Download Details
         <div class="jd_screenshot_zone jd_clear" style="">
            <span class="jd_screenshot">{screenshot_begin}<a href="{screenshot}" rel="lightbox" target="_blank"><img class="jd_image-left" src="{thumbnail}" />[/url]{screenshot_end} </span>
            <span class="jd_screenshot">{screenshot_begin2}<a href="{screenshot2}" rel="lightbox" target="_blank"><img class="jd_image-left" src="{thumbnail2}" />[/url]{screenshot_end2} </span>
            <span class="jd_screenshot">{screenshot_begin3}<a href="{screenshot3}" rel="lightbox" target="_blank"><img class="jd_image-left" src="{thumbnail3}" />[/url]{screenshot_end3} </span>
        </div> <!-- end of screenshot zone -->


To get a thumbnail you need to have an image or images associated with the Download.  So you need to add an image to the Download in the Images tab when editting or creating a Download
If there are no images then jDownloads does not show anything.
Also you need to go to Images tab of the Configuration where you will find a section on Thumbnails.  Amongst other things your hosting service needs to provide the GD Library
