RLMP exported code alt tags - Post ID...

When working on a layout in RLMP the exported code has generic alt tags. Example: I Drag an Image element into a column. In Properties>Element under Text, I type the word Ash, and I set the Exported Path to the image I am using. Upon export of the code the alt tags will still read Image. Shouldn't the alt tag reflect what is shown in the Element>Text section? It's a bit tedious to have to go back and edit all the alt tags.

Or is this something that could be added to an update of RLMP? Maybe even a check box to also include the text in a title tag as well in the exported code. :D

I've always entered my own but that does make sense to add that as the alt.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

There are no settings for ALT tags at the moment (possibly there will be later) as they really are not needed for building a layout. Remember this is a layout maker. ;)

ALT tags would be something you would add yourself when building your website from the exported markup.

I do understand that it is a layout maker. It would make sense that if one was to use the Text input box to name an image/logo element, and set the image Export Path that instead of seeing alt="Logo" in the exported HTML that it would be what was entered into the Text field? In this case is should read alt="Decals and Tees".

But upon export the alt tags are in the HTML.
Examples from RLMP:
<div class="coffee-span-10 coffee-push-1"><img class="logo logo-1" src="images/Logo-604x156-1h.png" alt="Logo">
</div>


<div class="coffee-span-8 coffee-push-1"><img class="image-1-1 image-1" src="images/color_chips/ash.png" alt="Image"><img class="image-1-1 image-1" src="images/color_chips/berry.png" alt="Image"><img class="image-1-1 image-1" src="images/color_chips/black.png" alt="Image"><img class="image-1-1 image-1" src="images/color_chips/blossom.png" alt="Image"><img class="image-1-1 image-1" src="images/color_chips/brick.png" alt="Image"><img class="image-1-1 image-1" src="images/color_chips/brown.png" alt="Image">

So upon export I have to manually change each alt tag, from alt="Image" to alt="Ash", alt="Berry", etc. To me it just seems to make sense to make use of the Text input to not only name the Element visually in RLMP but to also make use of it as an alt (and optional title) tag instead of the generic alt="Logo" and alt="Image" tags that are in the exported HTML now.
