the best footnote in a figure-environment

Post by danield5732 »

Hello,

I want to create a footnote at the description of an picture. Usually all this is in an figure-environment. I know there are some problems and also some answers. But there is no answer that solves the problem in the perfect way.
The biggest problem is that the picture and the footnote is not on the same page, because the picture is moved to the best place, but the footnote appears on the page where it was set with \footnotetext{...}.
So, I don't want to use \footnotemark , addtocounter{footnote} , \footnotetext , stepcounter{footnote} - this is very unfavourable, because of many footnotes in text an still working on the text.

Does anybody know a package or just "the best way" to create a footnote once that is always on the same page like the figure-environment places the picture? - Best would be just to use \footnote{...} - is there a possibility?

Thanks for answer - Daniel
