 * Hello,
 * the options at the Metadata should be extended, please see this as a feature 
   request. 
   We can only display (or hide) the Title field (wich is usually the 
   internal name of a media file).There is no switch to choose between “Title” and“
   Caption”. I see the “Caption” as the public sided “Title” of my media files.At
   the Caption section itself, we have the option to choose between “Caption” and“
   Description” – so we are not having any possible option to use “Caption” and “
   Description” same time.So there may be multiple ways to extend, a) either make
   a clear separate setup so we can address all four media metadata fields separately.
   b) enable for Title a choice between “Title” and “Caption” and change the Caption
   section to Description with a choice between “Description” and “Alternate Text”
   c) enable the two Metadata fields currently available at the lightbox, to have
   the choice of all four metadata fields as a source (just like we can set the 
   caption source at the gallery plugin)BTW speaking of the gallery – here I miss
   the ability to display the Description at the UI in addition to the Caption –
   so I can choose only the one or the other but not both same time.Many thanks 
   for considering.CheersYogie

 * PS: at the Caption there is the Caption Ellipsis option – turned on or off – 
   I am unable to see and spot any difference on how the caption is displayed.
