Filename macro with Load Live Image fails
Hi, I have a simple slideshow with about 15 photos in it that I change out regularly (daily). Each photo also has a text caption (person's name + other info). I manually change the photos and captions daily. I'm looking for a way to simplify this task. I tried "Load Live Image from Folder" in the Layer Settings and that works great for loading up the photos. Then I discovered the Insert Macro in Captions, \f would insert the file name, so I renamed each file to what I wanted the caption to be. When running the show, the 1st slide works great, but after that, the caption does not change (but the photo does). It seems the macro does not pick up the new file name from Load Live Image.
Just checking here to see if I'm missing something or maybe someone has another idea to simplify this task. Thanks.

You have not missed anything. The caption is loaded when you apply it to the image. In order to pick up the change, you will need to delete and re-apply the caption, as you have already surmised. Put a feature request into Photodex. They are pretty responsive on things like that.

Thanks Vernon, I will do that.
I should also mention that my test show only had a single slide in it, I set it to loop when creating the output. The loop does pick up the next photo. Might be helpful for someone wanting to create a fast slide show.

I noticed you posted your feature request here at the forum, but I wanted to make sure you also did the same directly with Photodex. It's possible that someone from Photodex may see your request here at the forum, but this forum isn't monitored by Photodex or utilized for that purpose and there is no guarantee that it will be seen by anyone that can make use of the request. The "Feature Requests" section here at the forum is more for the members to brainstorm and come up with suggestions that can then be forwarded to Photodex for their consideration.
Sorry for any confusion.
