Hiding Images and Map names?
Hi Everyone!
Since the latest updates I've been unable to hide the names of images and maps that I share with my players.
Prior to the update, I would open an NPC, go to the details tab, click the image and then click the little ID in the title bar to hide the name, then share the image.
Since the update I can't seem to figure out how to do this - can anyone point me in the right direction or has this been removed?
If it has been removed... what do you all do to hide the name of the file from the players?
Thanks in advance!!

I noticed the same thing last night with an monster image and I just checked in a campaign without any extensions and had the same problem. I'll do a bit more testing, though is there a new way to select Unidentified? It used to be an "ID" toggle right before the Image name.

The ID button has changed. See attached image

Right - and anything I create I can do this, but if the item is from official source material (Such as the DMG) and the entry is read only, the magnifying glass doesn't appear for me.
If I copy the NPC entry and "make it my own" then it appears. Can you see this option on all content or just your own? (I noticed your screeny says Copy which seems to work for me when I do that)

If a module is Read Only, then you can not unlock the object to change it's identity. That is by design. Copying it is the intended procedure.

Any NPC from the MM will remain read only until you add it to an encounter or to the combat tracker (or make a copy). This creates a copy of the NPC. If you then use the image link it will be unlocked and you can give it a non id name. Now having said that there doesn't seem to be a way of sharing a non-id'd image from the Pictures and tokens view since it immediately becomes shared when the share icon is clicked. I'm not sure whether that is intended or not.

I remember that I originally had set it up to use either the identified or unidentified name of the NPC picture field when shared from the Picture field. I'll have to check whether that's working as intended if you seeing something different.

I'm also finding its all official content images - When I show a picture of a magic item it has the name of the item right up top - I guess the party can save on identify spells?
