customizing printed contact sheet
« on: June 04, 2006, 03:58:08 PM »
Is there any way to control how the text appears under a thumbnail on a printed contact sheet? Idealy, I would like to have seperate lines for object name, caption, and date. (i work on a mac)

Yes.  Make the Title line height '5' since you're wanting to print a lot of information.  Then enter the variables for your Thumbnail title:

{object}{nl}{caption}{nl}{date}

The {nl} variable gives you a line break.

Depending on how much text you have in your caption, it may not all fit since there is a limit to how small Photo Mechanic will allow the font to get before it gets too small to be of use.
