This is cool, I have it working on my laptop, and will have the first real test this weekend.

One final detail (and this may be a Facebook specific question as that is my destination for these shots/captions), is there a command that will insert two line returns or a paragraph return into the captions?

Currently I have this output:
QuoteEvent Name & Image Number  Lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum

My ideal would be:
QuoteEvent Name & Image Number

Lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum

See FAQ 21.

I find option b to be the easiest under Windows.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd

I think I asked that last question too soon!  As it turns out, the line break wasn't showing on my computer, but once I uploaded to Facebook, it is *exactly* as I wanted   :D :D :D

Ah, yes.  Checking your first post I see you mention Picasa, and Picasa doesn't show line breaks.  Overall, it's pretty poor with it's metadata management, though I still use it for it's facial recognition ability.
