Re: Discolered Pics Return

Alon,

Yep, that's how "display file names" works. The filename is displayed
if there is no caption. No one has complained so far, so I figured
that this implementation is reasonable. Do you think it should work
differently?

Yes, you pretty much summed up my current thinking about "cascading
album attributes". There will be an "attributes" editor on all pixory
"nodes" (folders/directories), not just on albums as it is now. When
you set attributes on that node, the same attributes will be set on
all children nodes, including albums, overwriting all existing
settings. You can then go into any child node and change the settings
on the child without affecting the parent. So, in other words,
attribute settings always cascade down. Also, every time you create a
new child node, including albums, it "inherits" the attribute settings
from its parent node. 

The only shortcoming I see to this scheme is that its pretty easy to
accidentally overwrite a whole bunch of carefully chosen individual
album settings by absent mindedly changing the settings for a distant
parent node.

regards,

joe
