Film strip in book module - photo info.

Hi, everyone.

 

As I review photos clicking on their thumbnails in the book module's film strip on the bottom of the screen I can't seem to find a way to have (1) the name of the photo file displayed and (2) the name of folder where the photo file resides.

 

In Bridge one has the option to have up to 4 lines of customer-selected infornation displayed below each thumbnail.

 

Is there a way do do something similar in Lightroom 4.1 ? How can I view the file name and the name of the folder where it resides as I select the image in the film strip ?

 

Thank you in advance.

    The file name is shown in the filmstrip header bar.

     

    The folder is displayed there too, but only if you're actually in a folder. In Book module you're usually in a collection, so you can't see the folder name in the header.

     

    The only other way to display the folder name in the Book module is the tooltips. Tooltips in filmstrip display the same info that the Info overlays display in Loupe mode. You must configure (Ctrl+J in Library module) the Info overlay to display the folder.
