Hi
I am transferring my photos from Jalbum to EXhitbit 1.5, because I like the layout and setup very much

Step 1. I made the exhibitions and imported the photos

In Jalbum the photo texts are in seperate files.

Step 2. I transferred the phototexts to Exhibit with the help of the LOOKUP function of Excel.
To do that I:
- Export with the help of Navicat the table : ee_phot_eng
- Import the table in Excel and also the text file from Jalbum
- I replace the the texts in Exhibit with the texts in the text files of Jalbum. T he photo ID is my key

Step 3 - Updte the ee_phot_eng files with Navicat.

It works fine.

However at importing the photos in Exhinit the _ in a photo ID e.g. Img_1156 is surpressed and the ID is now "Img 1156"
See the photo ID at: http://213.93.213.25/ee/photo.php?photo=287&exhibition=19&u=90|24|...
So this gives a mismatch with the Jalbum file
It is funny that the photo at the server is still: IMGL1156

I can solve that by removing all _ in the Jalbum file. But it is curiuos.
Can you comment on that?

Note: I really look forward to the multi-level(folder) update as you announced.
(Now available in Jalbum)
The structure for my site can then be:
- Kalahari (index level 1)
- 30 desember (index level 2)
- Wonderwerkgrot (exhibiton 1)
- Boesmansgat (exhibiton 2)
- Oog van Kuruman (exhibiton 3)

EE converts underscores _ to spaces when photo header is derived from photo filename. This is for practical reason: to make line wrap possible on photo page.

So if you had file name IMG_1156.JPG and you uploaded it in EE with default photodata header conversion set to "filename" then you get photo header (photo title) IMG 1156

This should not affect Jalbum in any way because actual filename is not touched by EE. Or maybe I do not understand the problem....

I have the same problem. All my pics are of the form

YYYY_MMDD_HHMMSS.JPG

and they all lose the '_' character on header displays.

I would MUCH rather see the file names printed as given;
and be prepared to rename files if they are too long & force line overflow.
