I work for a climatology organization at a university and we—in fact, the entire university— is hooked on Drupal. I work mainly with this organization's websites' figures and graphics and there is no end to their number and complexity. I have long been waiting for a module such as this; it very well may be the module of my dreams, but there's one thing which most of the Drupal image/media modules never consider or do well:
Inline functionality with a user-friendly solution to captions.
I have had to rely on hand coding each HTML caption for each scientific figures or cross my fingers and rely on unstable third party modules to get the job done. Captions are a big issue with inline images, and not just for scientific areas, but for artists, writers, etc.
Thank you for any information you can provide me in this area.

I think this would be handled by meta data- a module would have to define the data and present it, but it doesn't seem like it would be a problem

This issue isn't quite fixed... Yes I could add a field as a caption for my image, but that's only if i'm uploading one image per node. I have a gallery with multiple images inside of one node. I need to add alt text to these images, but I can't find a way to do it.

Any ideas?
