Great! It would be useful to have some kind of default setting, so that mugs
such as I would get their pictures in a reasonable format without text
running right up against it.

I really admire the ease of updating of pmwiki - in spite of not having shell
access (and being an old foggie - my brain is getting gradually scrambled and
that annoys me intensely) I have been updating the pmwiki on pcug-TIP (The
Internet Project) server fairly regularly. I've just downloaded all the data
from the pcug site onto my PC, so I do have a backup. Unfortunately, the
"ownership" of files has been changed during the download and would be
changed when uploading, so that a failure would require help from the
pcug-TIP administrators to change the permissions on the uploaded files. It
is enough to scare me away from frequent updates. I think that this is
purely our (my and TIP) local problem and that pmwiki is as easy to update as
it could possibly be. I am so impressed with the ease and, so far, safety of
updating!
Thank you all - my best wishes go to you, Patrick - great achievement that you
deserve to be proud of!
Al.
