Where do you see team mate names?
Are you on Windows 7?
I open the folder and have them up as "large icons". When you mouse over them, the info shows up.
Also, the pic I just posted on my fb has my team info directly on it, AS the title of the piece, without me even changing it. The only thing I changed was the title of the image so I could upload the right one.
I'd share it but you'd only see the image unless you're on fb at the time.

That's cool!
I see why I missed it for so long... 90% or more of my screenshotting is when I am solo and "posing" for the camera.
But there are a few group shots of my old SG and big events and they do show the list both
in the hover text and in the rightclick >properties >details under "Title."
Thanks Zekiran, I've already had several
"Oh now I remember who that is!" moments looking through my gallery.
<---not on FB but found it. Also size of icon appears to be irrelevant, the info shows even in list view.
Cool!
Yeah I still want to know why it was suddenly that day that changed the info though. Have to check whether Globals went live that day or what.
I discovered this while looking through my old 2006 screenies for the memorial service for a fallen player, and sure enough I had been to that event. Even better that the titles were in those pics.

I did not know this, either. This game just keeps on giving.

I'm just a bit weirded out by the fact that it was way long time ago, and have never noticed it...

It GENUINELY surprises me that I wasn't given a ration of grief in here "why didn't you already know that"? But... wow.
>_> It doesn't qualify me for the Bug Hunter badge does it?

LOL I'm glad I'm not the only one late to this party. I uploaded some screenies to Facebook the other day and noticed this too - it automagically put the names in the captions.

I went to go look as I have Windows 7, and it won't give me thumbnails on the older screenshots. Very annoying.

But it worked for my CoV beta directory. I could find the old character names I teamed with. Fun.

Yeah. It's part of the metadata of the screenshot.
It bloats the size of the image a little (and can be stripped out if you want). But it's really nice. My screenshot gallery actually benefits from the metadata a bit. If you click on one of the thumbnails to get the full-size image, you get a subtitle underneath with the metadata string.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Yeah just uploading the screenshot in the "earliest screenshot" thread, I found out it tagged everything down to the map I was on. Didn't know about the teammates, but I guess now I get to go looking through my TF screens to see who all was there.
Freedom
Blueside: Knight'Hawk, lvl 50, Scrapper
Yellowside: Dark'Falcon (Loyalist), lvl 20, Blaster

The fields are size-limited. So you won't get "everything". But they give you a decent list. Especially if names are short.

8-31-2005? That would be Issue 5. Global channels were available before that.

I'd have to see if the patch notes actually go back that far.
