Hi this works great

How do I show the image description when I upload an image?

I have Lightbox2 enabled.

I had the same question in my head. There is no way to add description right now. Needs some R&D.

Changing it to feature request.

How about an upload description field, then you can give small descriptions for your uploaded PDF files too.

It must sound simple the way I say it but I know there is no such field in the core upload system. Maybe it could be part of core for D7

I noticed you can rename the file name, cant that be used for a description?

Thanks

There is a description field under $node->files object, but as far as I can tell it is stuffed with file name at best.

Unfortunately my schedule is packed too tight to get it on my queue within next few months, but I will review all submitted patches.

Got a nice implementation of description field in. New setting added to files upload settings section (default is on) to show file description in lightbox, shadowbox. Did not test if it works in other *boxes, it should in theory, if they honor title attribute in the link tag.

Committed to 6.x-2.x-dev CVS.

I will prepare a release early this week. Want to see people's report of how their test of -dev goes. Especially if anything got broken in 2.x-dev.

I can't see any description field. Here is what I did:
- downloaded the release 6.x-2.x-dev from 2010-Mar-27.
- enabled the "Upload" and "iTweak Upload" modules ( +imagecache, imageApi, thickbox )
- created a new content type with "Attachments" enabled.

The module is working great but I really can't find this option.
What did I miss?
