In the "Update Alt for each image" page in Access-Aide, where does the plugin get the alt-text that had already been entered for images. Is it only from the html code for the image? If the image already has alt-text in its metadata, would Access-Aide be able to pick that up.

I have about 50-60 images for an ebook that I am working on and they have alt-text entries in the Alt-text (Accessibility) field. It would be great if Access-Aide could pick that up. At the moment it looks like it will be necessary to copy and paste the text into the Update-Alt page.

Thanks
Jim
