    Is going to be any way to allow for text to be associated with images (such as a brief description) when they are viewed individually? I realize this adds considerable complexity to the project but it sure would greatly improve it for many uses.

      Yes, that's already built-in to 2.0, although since there's no uploader yet, you have to create the files by hand.

      You can create a description for anything in your albums directory by creating a corresponding file in your cache directory with a "__desc.txt" suffix.  Check out the Sample Album, which has a description on itself, and on the A-10.jpg picture.

        Does not seem to work for me. Nor can I see what you are referring to on the sample A-10 pic on the phpix site? Suggestions appreciated!

          emenzies, let's take this to the PHPix2 forum, at phpix2.sourceforge.net.

          But to answer your question, from a shell (or FTP), go to the "cache" directory.  Now open the "Sample Album" directory.  See the files there with "__desc.txt" at the end?  Those are description files.  You can make more of them, just as long as the part before the __desc.txt is the same as the name of the image you're trying to describe.
