      Is this a possibility? I print out a lot of scenes to jpeg. It would be a nice option to know what scene I'm looking at by looking at a stamp with the scene name printed on the image. With time stamp would be nice too.

      Thanks,

        See if watermark can be used for this.
        Otherwise, place either text or 3d text in a strategic position visible only in the specific scene?
        Failing that, place caption in jpg using an image editor?

        I do understand what you really want here. I was just offering some quick suggestions. There ought to be- if it does not already exist- a way to caption your scene images. And I think a lot of people would like this capability.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

          Thanks,

          Find my 'PageText' ruby.
          It adds the page [scene] name as a piece of screen-text to the bottom of each scene - on a layer that's only 'on' in that scene.
          You can get the time/date off the images' creation/modification info...

                Did you search index by author?
                Did you perhaps check at Smustard or Ruby Library Depot? (The Depot is maintained by Didier Bur.)
