Hi guys, I'm probably being really dumb but I have a question about captions in Windows XP and Gallery 2. My dad likes to use the "Publish to the web" thing in Windows XP to get his photos into his gallery. He puts the names/captions on once he's uploaded them but I'm sure there's a way of doing these in vanilla Windows XP first. I'm wondering if the "Set captions on the published items" is for this but I can't see how this is actually working. Anyone know what the caption thing is and/or how to get captions on the photos (via the 'Title' field on the file, for example) that get picked up by Gallery 2 on the upload. Thanks very much in advance. Cheers |

The "set captions" checkbox just means the title(filename) will also be used to set the G2 item summary.
Maybe publishxp module could have a form input for caption, but you can add a lot of photos at once, so that might make a very long form. I use publishxp too, and use "edit captions" in G2 after adding, as you suggest.

To stop the filenames from becoming the title of the image, find the line below in the file modules/publishxp/UploadItems.inc
$title = basename($file['name']);and change it to
$title = '';
