This dialog box is used to build display strings that are used for displaying information about the album, a picture or other items.
MyAlbum makes an extensive use of Display Strings as they are very useful and flexible for choosing and formatting the information you want to be displayed on the thumbnails, in full-screen mode, in generated HTML pages...
A display string contains text and macros that are expanded with the information related to the picture.
A macro begins with the percent sign (%) and is composed of two characters (Caution: case sensitive!):
e.g.:
%FN : will display the filename of the picture,
%FK : will display the size in kilobytes of the file containing the picture,
%1C : will display the first line of the picture comment.
Applied to a picture, the display string %FN (%FK KB) - %1C will be expanded like this:
Sunset.jpg (49 KB) - Sunset in Namibia : Etosha national park
The macros defined in MyAlbum are described in the Technical Reference part of the online help.
Tip:
Use %% for displaying a single percent sign.
Use %| for a line break.
