The issue I see is that apparently Title has a short character limit. I'd MUCH prefer to see the feature provide for space of on-screen display of the Caption and Description as provided in Legacy. A simple Table would allow for that and, if neither is found, Legacy could do what it does now and just provide the name and date ranges of the person associated with the picture. >I haven't tried creating any web pages with Legacy yet, but I would hope >they would create "title=" tags for any text intended as a tool tip. That's basically the issue. Should this information be a tool tip and my view is that it really shouldn't be. It's a simple matter to offer an option asking if this information should be shown with the picture and, if so, provide the appropriate table for presentation. I've taken the time to provide informative captions and detailed descriptions so that web viewers can understand the origin of the picture and its importance. Once that hurdle is cleared I'd really like to see support for displaying ALL pictures associated with each person instead of just a single picture as it is now. This feature has a LOT of potential but I'd argue that right now it's pretty much in its infancy with regard to overall value. I'd rather have it than not have it but as it is now, it's extremely limited. People keep saying, "Can I see that picture you mentioned?" and unless I hand code the pages, which I don't have time for, I can't get there from here.
