Right now with the Matrix theme, each photo has under it the file name, then the filename again, then the date, then the number of views, then the check mark and "new".
I would like to display only the file name to allow more room form photos on a page. Which file should I edit/
Thanks

first do "edit captions" in each album and adjust the title/summary... sounds like they have the same value so you see the filename twice.
make a local template for layouts/matrix/templates/albumBody.tpl to remove date/views.
deactivate New Items module to remove "new" image.

Could you explain in more detail how to remove it?

To remove the display of both View Count and Date under thumbnails on the album page of the Matrix theme:

  1. Navigate in a file manager to "themes/matrix/templates"
  2. Create new directory "local" ("templates/local")
  3. Copy album.tpl from "templates" directory to "templates/local" directory
  4. Edit album.tpl in "templates/local" directory (not the original in the "templates" directory)
  5. Change
                    {g->block type="core.ItemInfo"
                          item=$child
                          showDate=true
			  showOwner=$showOwner
                          showSize=true
       		          showViewCount=true
                          showSummaries=true
                          class="giInfo"}

    to

                    {if ($child.canContainChildren)}
                {assign var="showView" value=true}
                {else}
                {assign var="showView" value=false}
                {/if}

                {g->block type="core.ItemInfo"
                          item=$child
                          showDate=$showView
			  showOwner=$showOwner
                          showSize=true
       		          showViewCount=$showView
                          showSummaries=true
                          class="giInfo"}
  6. Saved changed file
  7. Navigate in Gallery to "Site Admin"
  8. Click on "Maintenance"
  9. For "Delete template cache" click "run now"
  10. Check the result

If you want to keep the date display, don't change the "showDate=" line.
Hope that helps!
