ZigZag - Remove Image Name

How does one remove the image name from pages generated by ZigZag?
Love this new skin. Using it to generate directions to my home.
Actually, the image-name-removal issue is a difficult one to deal with for many skins. I find it buried as a header which I hide, e.g., for Turtle.

If you give the image a File Title, the skin will display that instead of the image file name (true in most skins, in fact).
ETA: And you can use a sneaky little trick to eliminate it entirely. For the File Title, enter a non-breaking HTML space. Almost impossible to show in a forum post (since the software turns it into a space, of course!), but type an &, followed by nbsp, followed by ; - ampersand, nbsp, semi-colon.

Cute trick . . . you have to have inside knowledge to use a non-breaking space to hide image name. But, blankness remains and takes up verticle real estate which it would be good to be rid of. I tried styling with a negative margin, to no avail.
In the end, it would be nice to eliminate the image name and space occupied thereby.
I'll settle for this for now.
Thanks.

Oh . . . adding a non-breaking space to the Title field requires editing this field for every image, a pain. Hopefully a more general approach can be implemented in development.
Thanks for "listening."

ZigZag doesn't include a "provide your own CSS" setting, alas, but you can edit the skin files, and add this line at the very end of the common.css file: .item h2 {display:none;}
This will apply to any album you make with ZigZag, and will be wiped out if you install an update. So, you might want to make your own copy of the skin and tinker with the copy.

I might add a setting for this. Until we have that, edit the file "index.htt" of Zigzag (CTRL+SHIFT+E), then delete <h2>${title}</h2>
from line 8. Save and make the album again.

You can enter a comment for one image, then copy it (right-click, Comment, Copy), select all of the remaining images (CTRL-A), and paste the comment for them (right-click, Comment, Paste), all in one fell swoop.

Even better is the "my CSS" setting that a lot of other skins provide (mine and Laza's, for example). Takes care of all sorts of user-tinkering in a non-destructive way. And with luck, more of the users will learn how to use the browser developer tools to sniff out the CSS classes!

David: that would be GREAT. I'll look forward to seeing that enhancement. Still working on my first ZigZag album. Making step-by-step directions from Brooklyn to our apartment in the DC area with helpful images. ZigZag is ideal for this if one used his/her cell phone for navigation. Google maps doesn't "do it" for our tricky location. Google just shows blank space in place of roads and streets.

Moved into one of the Anacostia "no go" zones?

Here's what I ended-up with (please ignore the poor quality images shot thru a wind shield): Directions..
Too much white space and an errant separator image (the double line). If a title is entered, it appears before the separator image which I'm using to delineate between a picture/comment duple.
Guess I've got more to do.

Ah, removing (commenting-out) the h2 {title}
did the trick. Nicer / easier than substituting non-breaking-spaces to the title for many images. Guess I'll have to check to see if this gets over-written with an update.
Will look forward to having this as an option in the skin settings.
Thanks.
