because as result you have the homepage packed with oversized pictures. and a "post this picture as a comment to a new story" doesn't really cut it, does it? :)

what's wrong with an image.main anyway? with this you could even leave out the image in the image.preview skin and provide only the name, the alt text and a link to the actual picture. btw, what happens with the images page when you post lots of pictures to your site?

you need to have a story to post an image, you can't post the image directly.

okay. so this looks like a job for the yet to be built story manager.

does the "no, that won't work" mean that there is no way to create a page for image/name/main or is it only impossible to add comments to it?

i'm asking because i wanted to rewrite our picture manager. we already have too many pictures for my 56k modem. i'd like to build a simple image manager, just the name, the edit and the delete link for each image. unfortunately i see no way to preview a picture except in the image manager. (the edit link works only for the creator.)

I understand the problem. will be fixed.

What I meant with "won't work" was that an image can't be on the weblog main section/page without a wrapping story, i.e. without being inside a story.

an <% image.author %> would be highly appreciated, too.
