Not sure if this is a filefield or imagefield issue.

I expected the description to show by the image or a display option at least.

I'm a bit confused with the description field use.

It seems obvious to me that if I add a description with a image I'd like that description to show with the image (that's why I take the time to write it).

So, isn't the description field for that? I don't find any easy way for this to happen and it feels to me that should be the default behaviour.

If not, what should I use for this matter?

Thanks

See #324591: How to print description under the each image field.

Ok, thanks I'll try that ASAP

However ... wouldn't make sense to have a checkbox option to "Display description" just similar to the way the "List" image checkbox works ?

Should I file this option as request?

I think I've said this elsewhere, but because the "description" is not shown as part of the <img> tag, I'd really prefer not to include it. The entire reason for its existence is rather odd (it has to exist because ImageField is built on FileField), and the description option doesn't exist at all in Drupal 7, so I don't encourage people to use it (though ImageField Extended will probably be able to provide a path forward).
