    I am new to WAG but have tried other programs over the years and am very impressed with WAG. Maybe it is something that I am doing but I find one aspect of WAG most upsetting. I organize my photos in a sequence that makes sense by adjusting the file name; i.e. aa-home.jpg, ba-office.jpg, bb-house2.jpg, cc-cabin.jpg etc. Then in WAG I add a caption and description to each photo and the caption is now the filename of the file and they are out of sequence.

    What I doing wrong?
    or
    How do I prevent this from happening?

    TIA for any help,

    Jerry

    Generally, it's not necessary to adjust the filenames. In the "Photos" menu, you can choose to sort your photographs by title, date taken, or filename. If you'd rather specify a custom order, you canmove the photos around in the "Photographs" list on the left-hand side of the main WAG window. (To do this, select one or more photos, and use the blue up and down arrows at the bottom of the Photographs list to adjust their position.)

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "the caption is now the filename of the file;" are you saying that the captions you type are disappearing and being replaced by the filenames? This would be the first time anyone has reported this behaviour. If this is what's happening, could you provide some steps to reproduce the problem and send an example ".wag" file to me for investigation?
