Losing Image Caption
« on: September 23, 2010, 03:50 PM »
After applying a caption via the "Add Caption to Picture" interface,
the caption is visible and appears to now be part of the screenshot.

However, if I select another screenshot in my list and then go back
to the one with the caption, the caption is gone.

What am I forgetting?

Do I have to Save the image to a file for the caption to stick?

Thanks,
weg

it sounds like SC is not realizing that the image needs saving after the caption -- just tested and confirmed.

so for now the workaround is to manually hit Ctrl+S after you add a caption or hit the save button, before switching away.

i will fix this in next release, should be this week.

thanks for the bug report!

Thanks for the reply.

Seems that this worked just fine in a previous version.

No reply needed.
