Thanks so much for all this info @brandon & others...
Firstly I can't believe that there isn't currently a way to display image names and captions in 7.1 galleries. Particularly if these are being pitched at visual artists, designers, photographers et al who might want to explain their work. I love the idea of the Portfolio page with Galleries within and I really want to persist with 7.1 but I'm on a deadline and this is taking double the regular time, along with so many missing features that I'm used to. It's beginning to cost me and my client money. Tempted to re-start the site in
