Text for Stamps not being used

[Terese Scott]

I've created tons (think hundreds) of stamps for my young students to use using Paint.NET and Gimp. They love them. I haven't submitted them yet, because I've only just started using my own photos.

My first graders build an ABC book using the Stamps for the Kindergarteners.
Each student is assigned his or her own letter to work on, and they
look for things that start with that letter. So I have to build stamps
for those letters without many things.

My problem is that I can't reliably get the text description to show up with the stamp.

I use Notepad (in Windows XP), save the file using the same filename as the .png file with the UTF-8 format to the same folder as the image.

Most of the time the description does not appear when they stamp one of my pictures. Only when I reuse a txt file from the Tux Paint project that someone else created does the text appear.

I'm willing to submit a stamp and its text file, if that would help solve my dilemma.

I'm using the latest version 0.9.20b.

One other difference -- I changed the directory structure of the stamps to one that makes more sense for me, but that shouldn't affect this, I would think.

Thanks,
Terese Scott

Sure, please send one to me privately, and I can investigate.

That shouldn't affect it.  Being precise with filenames will, though.
(e.g., "foo.png"'s description needs to be in "foo.txt" and not
"Foo.txt" or "foo.TXT"... at least right now.)

Thanks and good luck!
