Which version of Tiki are you using?

In Tiki 9, there does not appear to be a way to have the title and/or description display in the File Galleries slideshow.

The File Galleries slideshow uses templates/file_gallery_slideshow.tpl, which is able to display that information:

{if ($caption)}
    {if ($caption eq 'd')}
       {assign var="itemcaption" value="{$f.description}"}
    {elseif ($caption eq 'n')}
       {assign var="itemcaption" value="{$f.name}"}
    {elseif ($caption eq 'f')}
       {assign var="itemcaption" value="{$f.filename}"}
 {/if}

But the "caption" variable only appears to be set when that tpl file is called by PluginFiles. I don't find any way to set the caption variable for the List Galleries slideshow button.

It does mean that you can get a slideshow with titles and/or descriptions using the PluginFiles though.
