A Slide Show with Decriptions

When I select a photo in the Media map I see the Title and the Description. If I select the Slide Show option the Title remains, but the Description vanishes. See the uploaded images. 

I would like to know if there is a possibility to show also the Description in the Slide Show of the photos.
Or perhaps there is a MOD that makes the Descriptions visible. 

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Nico,
Try adding a description to the Body Text field.

That should show you the description when a slideshow is viewed
Not the most obvious location but it works

Hello Rob,

Thanks for your reply.
It's a pity, but I cannot find the upload screen you show on your reply. See attachment.

After choosing the right Collection, Tree and Folder, I try to select a file, but the Folder 'offotos' looks empty.
But this folder contains 943 files. What have I done wrong?

Goto Admin >> Media and find the media file you want the description to show.
Edit the media file and add the description to the Body Text

After Admin > Media and the right photo collection it is easy to copy the description into the Body text of that file and save it.

It's a pity that I have to do so at nearly 1900 photos.

Thanks for you advice.

Use SQL in phpMyAdmin or similar to execute.

update tng_media
  set bodytext = description
  where description > " "

Hi Rob,

I cannot see my answer of yesterday on your reply, so I make it again.
Thank you for your suggestion to make a file which copies the description into the Body Text.
As you can see, Anders B. Jacobsson has an idea which line such a file must contain.

Hi Anders B.

Thank you for your reply.
It would be nice if someone would like to help me to edit such an executable phpMyAdmin file, which copies the description into the Body Text.
I am looking forward to hearing from you or someone else.

Nico
