The only other editable text smartobj that I know of at the moment is e17's. I personally think it would be nice to pull all of the e17 widgets into libE (or a new library under apps/e/src/libs), so we can use them externally. They would be really nice for exactly this type of case. I'm not sure yet whether I'd prefer a caption beneath the image (so you can see it without covering up any part of the image) or trans text overlayed. I'm sort of leaning towards 'beneath'. But, then again, this would be a theme decision (or possibly an option). > Thanks all for input - you know you need to invest thought in how you > want to manage your photos from this point on ;) > > Andy You know, it always takes me a few seconds to figure out who the hell Andrew Williams is... btw, does this mean you're going to change your nick to HandyAndW? :-P rephorm > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
