Using latest NextGen Gallery on 2.7...currently it writes my page titles "Picture 1 << etc"
How do I change it to...for example....the image title? or description?
Where is picture 1 being called and how do i change it to not be so generic and more search engine friendly?!
Your help is much appreciated.

I was looking to do this also, but as far as I can see, you can't.
If you look in your plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib folder and in the rewrite.php file, the function rewrite_title, it has the following note in it:
--
//TODO:: I could parse for the Picture name , gallery etc, but this increase the queries
--
NextGEN gallery is currently not parsing for the picture name or gallery name so they are not available.
Try this at line 198 in rewrite.php
//$title = $new_title . $title;
global $wpdb;
$gallerycontent = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->nggallery WHERE gid = '$gallery' ");
if(!empty($gallerycontent->title)) {
$new_title = $gallerycontent->title.' > ';
$title = $new_title . $title;
}
return $title;

Would you still suggest this method with the new version? I found those //TODO lines at a different place and am unsure if line 198 would still be the suggested place. I am anxious to be able to rewrite the meta title and possible description on individual imagebrowser pages. Using the 'alttext' for page title and maybe 'description' for page meta description. I am fiddling with your code above with varying degrees of success as i'm a PHP noob, but learning from trying. Thanks.

I have tried this with the latest version and it seems to work perfectly. My page titles are now showing the gallery name which is really good.
I only wish I knew how to modify it have the gallery name in the permalink urls instead of "album-1/gallery-3" sort of thing... anyone know how to modify it?

Hello Zerokarma,
Can you please post details and the code to achieve this. I added the code in the rewrite.php file but it didn't seen to do anything.
I have also seen you other post:

Your quest is a worthy cause. If I obtain any information I will post it.

Solution from madjax seems to be only way if you really want to have names in title.
I've extended it album name also:
global $wpdb;
$albumcontent = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->nggalbum WHERE id = '$album' ");
$gallerycontent = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->nggallery WHERE gid = '$gallery' ");
if(!empty($gallerycontent->title)) {
$new_title = ' - '.$albumcontent->name.' - '.$gallerycontent->title.'';
$title = $new_title . $title;
}
return $title;
