Image resource .Title defaulting to filename?

[tashian]

I'm not sure if this is a docs issue or a bug.

In the docs for Page Resources, the default Title property value is stated as blank

But in v0.53, when I don't supply a title for a resource in the front matter, the default value of .Title for the resource seems to be the filename of the resource. In my case, I'm using title as a way of specifying cover image captions, and I'd like for it to be blank by default.

Here's the template code I'm using for my cover images:

    {{ $img := (.Resources.ByType "image").GetMatch "cover" }}
    {{ with $img }}
      <figure>
          {{ $big := .Resize "1232x" }}
          {{ $small := $big.Resize "616x" }}
          <img srcset="{{ $small.RelPermalink }} 1x, {{ $big.RelPermalink }} 2x" alt="{{ $img.Title }}" width="{{ $big.Width }}"  class="mw-100">
          <figcaption>{{ $img.Title }}</figcaption>
      </figure>
    {{ end }}

I'm not sure if this is a docs issue or a bug.

I'm pretty sure the Title has always had this default value.

Mmm... In my blog post which is anterior to the doc, I mention .Title and .Name both default to the base filename. Not sure why the doc says different considering I wrote it way back when but this should be fixed indeed.

In any case your test before outputing $img.Title could be as simple as:

{{ if not eq .Name .Title }}
I have a custom Title
{{ end }}
