Hi,
Is there anyway to have photo description displayed in piclens view, instead of displaying file name?
There should be a config to select which we want.
Thank you in advance.

I think you can manage it when creating the xml file.
I remember this when visiting this site:
www.olhares.com
You may see that bellow the picture appears not the filename, but the description and title of the photo.

so this means that in the xml file, there is no title as title but description - title as title in the tag:
<title>Title</title>

I think your correct and probably that's the way they do it, using photo description in tag <title>

but what happens if you have e.g. description on 5 rows ... (this need to be tested and then I can add it to parameters - Display title in Piclens, Display Title + Description in Piclens...)

I was investigating that website (
http://www.olhares.com) rss feed and found that they use a <media:description> tag for description.
But they use a <![CDATA[
Description]]> for the description.
The feed is in:
http://olhares.aeiou.pt/rss2.php
You might want to take a look at it.
I've also found a post in the coppermine forum about piclens. It's in this url
