Is there an option to show the IPTC Description/Caption information while playing the slideshow. If not, could it be added please.

Unfortunately PhotoCloud only support the EXIF metadata at the moment. However, there is a Java library for reading and writing IPTC metadata, so perhaps it would be possible to add support for this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3851665/java-library-for-reading-and-writing-iptc-metadata-to-jpeg-and-tiff

Can you please attach a photo which contains the IPTC information to this ticket, so that I have a proper image for testing purposes?

Sounds promising. See attached photo and Screen print of a windows program, ExifPro 2.1, showing the same data.

Sorry, the photo doesn't seem to be attached. Probably you need to attach it via the GitHub's web interface.

I'll try again.

Yes, thank you. I was able to read the IPTC data on my computer as follows:

I'll try to implement a support for IPTC into PhotoCloud 👍
