Copyright overlay should be recorded per piclist-entry, not abstracted to another file.

Description

Some image files may be used in different positions and sizes, e.g. an image showing the temple might be used at 0.5 column width in the glossary, but it might also be used full-width elsewhere.

If, as at present, the UI forces the copyright overlay size and position to be the same in both situations, then the result could well be horrible. Users should have the opportunity to select an appropriate setting for their images, e.g. using a shorter allowable form if the image is small.

This probably means that picInfo.txt should only supply default credit overlay information.

Research direction

Start by tracing how picInfo.txt supplies copyright overlay settings and how those settings reach each piclist-entry in the UI. Done means the same image can have different overlay size and position at different uses, while picInfo.txt provides only default credit information.
