Re: [Gramps-users] GRAMPS 3.1.0: image reference regions + NarrativeWeb

[Doug <dou...@on...>]

I don't know if there's any more direct way, but I added the group photo 
to the Gallery of each member of the group in turn and set his reference 
region there (i.e. for Edmond, attach photo, set reference region; for 
wife, attach photo, set her region, etc.). This automatically sets the name.
I also attached the photo to the marriage (i.e. Edmond and wife, where 
the children are listed).
The appropriate name then appears when you hover over a particular 
region, wherever you've put the photo.
