photo title and descriptions not saving

I’ve been experiencing problems editing my photos titles or descriptions.

I used the example to show one image and all of the thumbnails given to me in the wiki:

[!MaxiGallery? &pictureTpl=`mgPicture` &display=`pictureview`!]

[!MaxiGallery? &galleryPictureTpl=`mgGalleryPicture` &js=`mgJs`&pics_per_row=`4`!]

When I click the "manage pictures" button, it shows two sets of my photos (most likely because of the two calls) and since one set of info is left blank, it cancels out the other sets info. Is there a workaround to this?

Yes, use the &manage_target and &is_target parameters. Find more info from MaxiGallery wiki page or from threads here.
