Picture Information Display Window modification?

Question 
When running picture slideshow and viewing information about picture, the information box is to big and has to much info.
Anyone know of a way to make information box only show picture name and run at top or bottom of screenHuh Maybe set transparentcy level?
Maybe editing XML file?
Thanks in advance for advice.

I am new to skinning xbmc so I am trying small fixes one at a time until I learn.
I am trying to edit the display information in Pictures.
Want only the File Name to show and nothing else.
Have search the WIKI and can not find anything. (Properly there just could not find it.)
I am sure its a xml file just haven't located the right on with the ListItem entries.
Thanks for any info.

If you mean when you press the "info" button, then it's DialogPictureInfo.xml I would presume.

Thats what I am looking for. I want to change the information that is displayed when you pree the 'info" button. I looked at DialogPictureInfo.xml first, thinking it would be there but that only has settings for the window location and size. Unless it is calling it from another file? Basiclly trying to remove everything but the File Name and Maybe Location and Date Taken. (Its for the grand parents so it need to be easy.)

It gets auto-filled in there probably. You could try Slide.Filename (or whatever it is), and kill the list control that is in there.

After looking at every xml in the skin and in xbmc I have come to the conclusion that what I want to do can not be done. Although early versions of xbmc did have a small picture information box. Guess I will have to load older version until I find it.
Maybe that is something that can be add to the next build.

Already read the manual. Nothing in it about this.

slideshow.filename returns the filename of the current image - probably at least in DialogPictureInfo.xml, and most probably as well in SlideShow.xml

The others (prefaced with "slideshow") are listed in CPictureInfoTag::TranslateString()

Code:
if (info.Equals("filename")) return SLIDE_FILE_NAME;
  else if (info.Equals("path")) return SLIDE_FILE_PATH;
  else if (info.Equals("filesize")) return SLIDE_FILE_SIZE;
  else if (info.Equals("filedate")) return SLIDE_FILE_DATE;

  else if (info.Equals("exiftime")) return SLIDE_EXIF_DATE_TIME;
  else if (info.Equals("exifdescription")) return SLIDE_EXIF_DESCRIPTION;
  else if (info.Equals("cameramake")) return SLIDE_EXIF_CAMERA_MAKE;
  else if (info.Equals("cameramodel")) return SLIDE_EXIF_CAMERA_MODEL;
  else if (info.Equals("exifcomment")) return SLIDE_EXIF_COMMENT;
  else if (info.Equals("exifsoftware")) return SLIDE_EXIF_SOFTWARE;
  else if (info.Equals("apreture")) return SLIDE_EXIF_APERTURE;
  else if (info.Equals("focallength")) return SLIDE_EXIF_FOCAL_LENGTH;
  else if (info.Equals("focusdistance")) return SLIDE_EXIF_FOCUS_DIST;
  else if (info.Equals("exposure")) return SLIDE_EXIF_EXPOSURE;
  else if (info.Equals("exposuretime")) return SLIDE_EXIF_EXPOSURE_TIME;
  else if (info.Equals("exposurebias")) return SLIDE_EXIF_EXPOSURE_BIAS;
  else if (info.Equals("exposuremode")) return SLIDE_EXIF_EXPOSURE_MODE;
  else if (info.Equals("flashused")) return SLIDE_EXIF_FLASH_USED;
  else if (info.Equals("whitebalance")) return SLIDE_EXIF_WHITE_BALANCE;
  else if (info.Equals("lightsource")) return SLIDE_EXIF_LIGHT_SOURCE;
  else if (info.Equals("meteringmode")) return SLIDE_EXIF_METERING_MODE;
  else if (info.Equals("isoequivalence")) return SLIDE_EXIF_ISO_EQUIV;
  else if (info.Equals("digitalzoom")) return SLIDE_EXIF_DIGITAL_ZOOM;
  else if (info.Equals("ccdwidth")) return SLIDE_EXIF_CCD_WIDTH;

  else if (info.Equals("caption")) return SLIDE_IPTC_CAPTION;
  else if (info.Equals("author")) return SLIDE_IPTC_AUTHOR;
  else if (info.Equals("healine")) return SLIDE_IPTC_HEADLINE;
  else if (info.Equals("specialinstructions")) return SLIDE_IPTC_SPEC_INSTR;
  else if (info.Equals("category")) return SLIDE_IPTC_CATEGORY;
  else if (info.Equals("byline")) return SLIDE_IPTC_BYLINE;
  else if (info.Equals("bylinetitle")) return SLIDE_IPTC_BYLINE_TITLE;
  else if (info.Equals("credit")) return SLIDE_IPTC_CREDIT;
  else if (info.Equals("source")) return SLIDE_IPTC_SOURCE;
  else if (info.Equals("copyrightnotice")) return SLIDE_IPTC_COPYRIGHT_NOTICE;
  else if (info.Equals("objectname")) return SLIDE_IPTC_OBJECT_NAME;
  else if (info.Equals("city")) return SLIDE_IPTC_CITY;
  else if (info.Equals("state")) return SLIDE_IPTC_STATE;
  else if (info.Equals("country")) return SLIDE_IPTC_COUNTRY;

  else if (info.Equals("longitude")) return SLIDE_EXIF_GPS_LONGITUDE;
  else if (info.Equals("altitude")) return SLIDE_EXIF_GPS_ALTITUDE;

Perhaps you have some time to add these to the online manual for us?

Cheers,
Jonathan
