SS8 Pro Gallery/Import Image - Can't Edit Name Or Date, Does It Link?

Really happy to see I can import a sketch into SS8. But am I missing something as to how to change the name or date or associate it with an observation? Or search?

I sketched the reappearance of Venus on June 17, and 5 days later when I had time, imported the image into the gallery. In gallery view the title is simply Moon, no option to change it. The date is the timestamp when I exported the jpg from Sketchbook, 5 days later. It won't let me edit it. Info has a button "Show In Sky" that does nothing. In a fashion similar to associating an observation to a session, I expected that I would be able to associate a gallery image to an observation. In gallery, there is apparently no method to sort or search (or is that because I only have 5 images in it?).

I am hoping that the functionality of the the gallery is a work in progress. 
Samsung S10 FE One UI 8, Android 16. 

Good observing,
Alister.

    Hi Alister, 

    The image import was designed for astronomy images, not sketches.

    Show in Sky is based on object identification via plate-solving.

    If you would like to see this feature enhanced, please provide the following info:

    • Sketch import use case + features you would like to see added.
    • Image import use case + features you would like to see added.

    Thanks!
