I find the gallery name under the photo in the "slideshow" main window 
distracting and potentially confusing to the casual visitor. That's because 
it's the SmugMug gallery name and won't necessarily be very meaningful in a 
TTLJ  VG context. 

Besides, it's not at all clear (especially to an "invited" visitor) that it's a 
"gallery name" in the first place! A first-time, or infrequent, visitor invited 
to look at a VG gallery via a link in a routine email wouldn't necessarily even 
know SmugMug exists, let alone know, or care, what a SmugMug gallery is.

The caption, on the other hand...is meaningful (especially if the original 
SmugMug caption was overwritten specifically with the TTLJ VG gallery in mind). 
I think just the TTLJ caption should display (whether or not it's linked to 
Smug).

Good point, thanks for bringing this up -- it prompted the following solution:

If "Link To SmugMug" is set to "Yes" on either Gallery or Image level then:

   a) we'll display TTLJ caption out of the box and if it's not present we'll 
use original SmugMug caption (SmugMug Category name is gone).

   b) you have an option now, at the individual image level, to overwrite a) 
and to use original SmugMug caption instead (rare case I guess, but we can 
handle it nevertheless).

   c) finally, to give you complete control over the Link To SmugMug Title, you 
can overwrite both a) and b) with a Custom Link Title for each image.

All of the above has been implemented on "Edit Image Metadata" Page.
