Enhancement request for more meta data options.

I have most of my galleries setup as Vegas slide shows.  These display either the Caption or Title and copyright through the slideshow.

What I would like is that if I stop the show on a pic, that I have the option to display additional information such as location or exposure.

Generally I would like this capability for anything that I can set up to auto play

Thanks as always,
:-)

Re: Enhancement request for more meta data options.

you can already display nearly any metadata using metadata tokens. The metadata shows beneath the slideshow
http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … ata_tokens

use the Caption field in the template: Presentation > Captions
Put in whatever metadata tokens and text that you like

Re: Enhancement request for more meta data options.

Rod,
That is not the issue.  I already have done that.
As a presenter, I don't want the Caption / Title fields that are there to detract from the photo.  It is when I click on STOP of a slideshow that I want the additional information to show up, but not while the slideshow is moving along.

Got it now. I didn't get it earlier that you didn't want it showing while the slideshow was running.
