New Feature Request - Easier Captions! was created by atoddvr6
Hello,

We have recently purchased the Simple Image Gallery Pro plug-in and so far I am pleased with it! I would like to make a suggestion however. Make it to where you include the captions within the Joomla article itself. For example:

{gallery}Folder_name{/gallery}
{gallery_c}File_name|Title|Caption{/gallery_c}
{gallery_c}File_name|Title|Caption{/gallery_c}
{gallery_c}File_name|Title|Caption{/gallery_c}
{gallery_c}File_name|Title|Caption{/gallery_c}
and so on for each picture...

We are currently using Virtuemart and are getting ready to switch to K2 and this feature would GREATLY decrease the time it will take to re-upload all our products (2597 and growing). When I discovered the current method I was a little disappointed. I don't want to have to start my ftp program, locate, download, edit, and then re-upload the labels.txt file for each gallery. A lot of our products will have multiple galleries. I actually first saw this method in another plug-in that I have and currently use. This plug-in makes it really simple to include captions for each picture. All I have to do is type the captions for each picture right there in the article (like the example above). If you could include this in the next update I, (along with many others) would be greatly appreciative! ;D

I support that - but I would even go further and suggest the following:

Labels can be edited within the gallery tab of an K2-item below each galery image preview that is already been shown. No more {blablabla}ffffffff{/blablabla} - I (or more specific, the editors running the site) dont want to know the filename and where the | is on the keyboard.

Make it simple :-)
