Thanks Rod,
I have also just deleted them and didn't find any consequences. It's just a pia. I am trying to set up my system (lightroom and webpage) so that I don't ever have to use ftp for manual changes on the website.
Apart from this "feature" everything is working fine.
I've just noticed a "weird" bug in publisher (I think).
I rename me files as follows: myname + YYYYMMDD + HHmm + title + original file name.
The title is the one entered in the image metadata.
I wanted to change the title of a couple of images - this would affect the generated file name.
All went well and republishing the image had the desired effect. The old file was removed and the new one added in the photos directory.
However, the old file was not removed from the thumbnails and thumbnails-for-mobile directories. The new file was added to both directories.
Is this a bug, or is there a reason for the old thumbnails to be retained?
Yeah - it looks like it. I have added some separators and text to show them apart.
Thanks!!!
Thanks again, Rob.
Duhhh about just adding tokens!!! It worked, but even though I have put the tokens on separate lines, they still show up as a continuous string underneath the image.
You can take a look at the test site (look at the first image in the Wildlife album to see the effect):

Rob, Thanks for the reply.
I've played around, made some changes and republished everything - now I see the Title above the large image and Caption below - and none of the equipment and exposure information.
Is there any way I can get the Metadata 1 and 2 to show on the large images? I don;t want any metadata to show on the thumbnails.
I am constantly working on my test site and it is changing very often - so it would not help to point you to it!
OK... I got Galleries, Auto-Index and Publisher installed and working. I'm still learning fast!
I am struggling to get the Metadata to Display the way I want on the large images. I use Highslide Slideshow for the large image display and get it to show the metadata after publishing (it does not show in the preview in Lightroom!).
I have Publisher Setup like this:
Title: {Title} ("Elephant and Calf")
Caption: {Caption} ("Taken on the banks of the Chobe River After they had a drink and bit of a splash-bath. The light was quite harsh, but that lent itself to a black and white and high-key conversion.")
Metadata 1: {CameraModel} with {Lens} ("Canon EOS 5D Mark III with EF500mm f/4L IS USM")
Metadata 2: {ShutterSpeed} at {Aperture} ("1/1000 sec at f/8.0")
On the web, it just throws all the information into a continuous line, making it very unreadable like:
"Elephant and Calf Taken on the banks of the Chobe River After they had a drink and bit of a splash-bath. The light was quite harsh, but that lent itself to a black and white and high-key conversion. Canon EOS 5D Mark III with EF500mm f/4L IS USM 1/1000 sec at f/8.0"
Is there a way I can make the metadata each to show on its own line? And to center it?
Ideally I would also like to show the title above the image, and the rest below, each on its own line.
Thanks Rod.
I've already looked at your site and like it a lot! It is one of the reasons I'm looking at TTG - to accomplish what you have!
Thanks for the prompt reply, Matthew!
I will try with the iframe first to ensure consistency throughout the website and see if it gives me any problems.
I think I understand the following: You would use Autoindex to set up the template (appearance) for your galleries and then use Publisher to update or modify your galleries on-line - or am I wrong?. How does Galleries fit into this picture (pun intended!).
I like what I see about TTG and especially AutoIndex is something I really want to incorporate into a website I am designing.
I am at the point of purchasing (some?) TTG modules, but I'm not sure what I need.
I am designing the website with Adobe Muse (for several reasons).
Within this (on one page) I will include a galleries section - probably in an iframe (or is there a better way to do it?)
I want the galleries to have multiple levels and easily update without having to redo the whole website - I believe AutoIndex will do this for me.
Now the question(s).
What modules do I need - AutoIndex, Galleries, Publisher?
Any other recommendation or warnings?
Any examples of websites that is doing what I plan to do (doesn't have to be developed with Muse, but not with Pages)?
Thanks
