The Turning Gate

Outstanding information! Thanks and Happy New Year!

Scott,

The options available in the Image Info pane will vary from gallery to gallery. Most galleries (but not all) will support Title and Caption. Annotations and Ratings are features only available in my TTG Slimbox Gallery.

I foresee Adobe working to improve just about everything. It’s just a matter of what features take precedence at any given time in a release schedule. As for the slideshow module, I’ve never touched it – have never had a reason to – and wouldn’t know where to begin telling what’s right, wrong or in need of improvement. ;)

Hi
Thank you for sharing this information. I hope you may know how to change font size and family for MENU items in Flash Slideshow template.

I was able to change manually in group.xml all fonts but a menu. It is possible to change font color yet.

menuText tag just does not reach on fontfamily and size attributes

I would appreciate if you know the answer and can help. My email justsasha@mail.ru

Thank you

<menuBar>
<menuBorder alpha=“100.00” color=“FFFFFF”/>
<menuBarEnabled enabled=“true”/>
<menuHover alpha=“10.00” color=“000000”/>
<menuText color=“000000” alpha=“100.00” />
<menuBgColor alpha=“100.00” color=“C3BB7C”/>
</menuBar>

Matt,

I forgot to ask/mention this in my earlier enquiry.

On my copy of Lightroom (ver 1.4.1) the on-screen width of all your module panels exceeds that of the space Lightroom allocates. I can’t find any way to either shrink yours or enlarge LR’s so as to get the RH side fully on screen. Any clues?

Thanks again

Brian

There seems to be a problem in adding special characters to metadata fields and I wonder if there is a workaround to what seems to be a bug in the Adobe products.
It should be simple to add a caption for each image to show Internationally recognised photographers credentials in the IPTC “Author” field eg.

Gordon Bennett FRPS; MPAGB; EFIAP/b.

Using the File Info panel in say Photoshop or Bridge they are recorded correctly. When reading the Metadata from the xmp file in Lightroom however (Vista version), only the text up to the first semicolon in the above example is transferred. The same problem occurs with the forward slash symbol. Thus all the Lightroom modules work on incomplete data.
I have neither of these special characters set as a keyword seperator in Lr Preferences.

Is there some coding tag that can be wrapped round this text to ensure it is published correctly by the Lr web module ?

Hi Matt,
Yes I’ve already tried that and it doesn’t work.
I wondered if you knew which scripting languages these text fields are pushed through, which might give us a clue as to what escape string might work?
