Export Website, name assigned to image files

[jclements]

I noticed when exporting a website, the images files created from photos placed in the Xara file are assigned a numerical value for a filename.

I think it would be useful if there were options to use the original photo's filename instead or to use the Webpage "Image Caption" or the "PopUp Title" if they exist. This could help with "housekeeping" functions of the website.

You can do this now John but you have to do this one photo at a time.

Add the text filename="imagename.jpg"

This from the Xara Whisperer

filename="imagename"

Xara will export a photo as JPG anyway.
You can force it by selecting the type from the image tab in web properties
if necessary.

I stand corrected.

I noticed some interesting behavior with this feature. When you change the file name in the "Names" dialog the photograph is exported with the new name but when you delete the name the old name is retained upon export. Wonder if that is intentional...

What is decidedly worse about this undocumented and, I suppose, unsupported feature is that when using an Image PopUp the image thumbnail is named correctly, but the larger image still has the Xara-enforced number as name.

Not a happy bunny since I have just finished "PopUp"ing and "Name"ing 34 files with file names that were longer than the Names dialog box is large, hence the necessity to be extra careful, and the subsequent time wasted.

Another dialog that, please Xara, we should be able to RESIZE!

can I just squeeze in a reminder that 'document info' dialog cannot be resized, which can be a pita if it reports an external resource used such as live effect [that you don't have installed for example] that you cannot read....
