When uploading photo's I like to use the Exif description field as the description in Gallery.

Also, I like to remove the extension from the filename.

Is this possible with Gallery3?

Keep up the good work!

You want your filename not to have the extension on disk? Or you just don't want to show the filename to the user?

I don't want to show the filename extention to the user. If I have a photo abc.jpg I like the name of the photo in gallery3 to be just abc.

The end user doesn't typically see the file name. They see the title of the photo. If you have edit privileges, you can see the file name. Right now we're setting the title of the photo to the name of the file by default. Would it satisfy your need if we dropped the extension from the title?

Yes, that is exactly what I want. Thanks!

How about my other question, using the exif description as the photo description?

Thank you. I can't wait to start using Gallery3 in production!
