I discovered a little bug. When you drag a foto directly fom the fotos window into the ressources section of elements, the then entered Caption and Author entrys are not saved. Hitting the enter key deletes the just made entry.

Note: the resolution does not appear on the upper left side of the window.

If you drag the picture on your desktop first and from there to elements, it works fine.

That’s not officially supported, or tested…

Glad you figured out a workaround 🙂
