Files named by meta data NOT title

camerack

I am using a recent installation of zenphoto. I have a problem that I can't seem to solve. The names of the images in my gallery aren't coming from the titles of the files that I am uploading. They are coming from the meta data. An example would be below.

M&H-17.0-34.6-16-Side, 8/17/11, 11:52 AM, 8C, 7096x7241 (588+1854), 100%, Custom, 1/8 s, R103.1, G78.3, B95.9

The name of the actual file is M&H-17.0-34.6-16-Side. I just can't get the name to work. Even if I rename the image to something completely different, the title won't change in the gallery. Does anyone have any ideas?

Without metadata there is no title that is associated with the imagefile. So I presume you really mean that the name(Zenphoto title) is not comming from the filename of the image. The normal working of Zenphoto is to use metadata if it exists in the image. It will only use the filename if no other title is found. Once a title is set, it is not changed unless you invoke a metadata refresh.

So presumably your camera or processing software is setting that string in the metadata such that Zenphoto is choosing it for the title.

So your choices are:

1. Set the titles via the Zenphoto administrative interface
2. Set the metadata in your images via some metadata editor.
3. Use the development build and disable the metadata field that contains the wrong information.
4. In your theme, print the image file name rather than the title.

Thanks sbillard. That did the trick. Changed

<?php printImageTitle(true); ?>

to

<?php echo $_zp_current_image->getFileName(); ?>

Worked like a charm. Thanks again. I love the software.
