Topic: Caption doesn't work

Hello again to the support / Felix,

I have problems to get captions shown with svBuilder-Pro v2.2.0. A look inside gallery.xml shows this:

<image imageURL="images/abcd.jpg"
    thumbURL="thumbs/abcd.jpg"
    linkURL="images/abcd.jpg"
    linkTarget="_blank">
    <caption><![CDATA[]]></caption>
  </image>

Why <![CDATA[]]>? Whats wrong? I guess "caption" means the IPTC-Field Caption or? Again with the Bridge Version, that I mentioned two threads before, everything works fine. But I need svBuilder because of the mobile function.

Thank you in advance

Re: Caption doesn't work

Why <![CDATA[]]>?

Use of the CDATA tag is documented in this FAQ: http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/support/faq.html

I guess "caption" means the IPTC-Field Caption or?

In svBuilder-Pro, captions can be entered manually for each image (in the top text field next to each thumbnail in the 'Images' tab) or you can choose to 'Use File Name, 'Use Link URL' or 'Use None' from the 'Images -> Captions' drop-down application menu at the top.
svBuilder-Pro does not extract IPTC or EXIF data.
For reference, the svBuilder-Pro User Guide can be found here: http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/pr … uilderpro/
