    No, the title is independent from the filename and it also can be multilingual so it is not even unique.

    @acrylian:

    The URL is /always/ the filename.extension? No way of changing it?

    Not really but you could try enabling the `tinyURL` plugin.
    That would produce something like `yourwebsite.org/tiny43450`

    tinyURL of course would be not so great for SEO. That's more for sharing if you need short urls (Twitter for example).

    @IanWorthington: No, sorry. Reason - besides this is legacy being that way since always - is simply that Zenphoto needs to differ the different types (album, image, news, pages and so on) as you otherwise easily run into URL conflicts. `album/image` could also be a subalbum named "image" of the album "album" otherwise.

    You can however remove the rewrite suffix after the image suffix (so `album/image.jpg` instead of `album/image.jpg.html`) This however seems to cause SEO issues with google though mistaking the image page for an actual image file though.

    OK, thanks guys. I'll stop fighting it and rename my images how I want them to appear before I upload them then.

    @acrylian: I notice I get /image.jpg anyway. It sounds like I should turn that off. How do I do so please?

    Take a look at Options > General > URL options > mod_rewrite suffix. Default should be ".html". ".php" is not recommended as it sometimes triggers stricter server security on some servers thinking this is a php page pretending to be an image.

    Thanks. Added that in, now fixed.
