In the Upload Applet Module I have configured:

captionStripExtension=true (in the override section)

still, when I upload pictures with the picasa applet, filenames still show up with extension (".jpg")

is this a bug?

thanks!

just to add in, i have figured out some more:

the problem occours when I import pictures with the picasa upload applet, using the option "picasa caption" for item titles (instead of base filename).
this is working perfectly for pictures that have captions in picasa, but for pictures that do not, the filename is used instead - and these filenames are not affected by captionStripExtension=true in the upload applet module. in other words they show up as nnn.jpg

On the other hand, if I choose the option "base filename" as item title when importing, the captionStripExtension=true works perfectly, stripping away the .jpg

Is there a way to fix this??
Using the picasa caption option is a really nice and timesaving feature, but showing the .jpg is "ugly" for the pictures without captions. I know this is a little picky, but thats what webdesign is all about, right? :)

any feedback apreciated!
