Title:
  Add "Show Description" to Image Gallery

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I like the image gallery Mahara 1.4 a lot. It's a great way to provide
  visual evidence, either as a sequence or as a thumbnail index.

  But I notice that the  "Show Description" option available on single
  images is not available in the Gallery. To see descriptions of
  individual images, you have to click on each image and open it in a
  new window, which is not very usable.

  I think curating images with brief descriptions is very valuable, and
  showing curated images in sequence (ie slideshow) can build a
  compelling story.

  What are the difficulties/downsides of adding this capability to the
  Image Gallery?

  I can think of one potential difficulty: what to do with the other
  main option: thumbnails. Descriptions would look very odd attached to
  these. But I think a compromise could be found for this, such as
  clipping the description after a set amount of characters.

  I'm hoping it would be relatively straightforward to accomplish.
  Feedback welcome
