 * I’m surprised noone comment on this thread, I have the same problem and at least
   for me metadata is really important since I take great pain to add descriptions
   to all my photos – and I really want this information to be imported correctly
   when I upload my images to NextGen…
 * Cheers,
    Mikael

 * Put me on the list of those continously searching for a solution to this odd “
   cut-off description” issue!

 * Ok, I couldn’t let it be so after som not-too-deep tinkering I realized that 
   if I removed the “alt text” the “filename” would reappear.
 * So, it seems, when I upload an image, that the “alt text” comes from the “description”,
   and “filename” – in case “alt text” is not null – equals “alt text”.
 * Solution: I’ll just run a database update query and remove all “alt text” values
   and hence “filename” will appear again.
 * (However, if it should be like this is another question I guess)
 * Cheers,
    Mikael
