Bridge Slideshow captions show filename only
I'm using Bridge 14.1.0 on a Mac running Sonoma 14.4.1. I would like to display the Description metadata field in Slideshow captions. In Settings > Thumbnails I have specified "Show: Description" and I can see the Descriptions just fine in the Bridge window when I select "View > As Thumbnails". However when I play a Slideshow by going to "View > Slideshow Options..." and choosing "Caption: Full", I see only the filename, with blank space below it. In fact I am unable to display any other metadata at all.

With Bridge 2025 15.0.0.397 View>Slideshow Options>Caption>Full now shows filename, date taken and keywords. Description and Document Title are not shown.

Hi Tanu,
Thanks, this is definitely a step in the right direction. However I noticed that any caption that isn't very short is truncated with an ellipsis (...) near the start. Please see the attached screenshot. It would be really helpful if the entirety of the description could be displayed onscreen.
Also as you can see, the "Fill" option does not actually expand the photo to fill the available screen space.
Best regards,
