Appending to caption
« on: December 06, 2010, 02:46:57 AM »
Hi,

is there a way to append a word to the caption in front of the already written? And maybe to the headline too?

regards
Johann

Johan,

You could make use of a workaround for this: make use of an unused field and set that to "text to go before {caption}".
Apply this setting and then go back and set your caption field to "{variable for unused field above}" and apply this. Now your caption should be what you want.

Note: Take care to use a field that has no restriction on the number of characters you put in it.

Hope this helps,

Hayo,

I can't manage. I have the variable-phrase written in my caption.

Maybe if you post a screenshot of what you're working with and what you want the final result to be then we'll find a solution for you.  Use the 'Additional Options...' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your JPEG format screenshots.

Thanks,

Sorry for late reply. I was abroad. I use MacOs X snowleo and PM 4.6.6. I would like to append "166 / " to all fotos, like you see in the second screenshot. And in batch manner.
