P: Photo info missing

From a collection in Lightroom, clicking on "Make Public" gives a web address to the collection. Using this method, the Photo Info does not appear when viewing photos at the web address. If the desktop version of LR Mobile is used, it is possible to copy the URL paste it into a browser, and view the photo info. Since the Make Public URL is automatically shortened, it is more convenient to use. Is it possible to include the photo info with the Make Public generated URL?

It would also be good to include the location information with the photo info.

Location information and metadata is now available to be shown in the photo info panel of the public LR mobile galleries, I love this!

Now it would be nice if it was possible to optionally also show the exact time instead of just the date on which the image was taken.

Jared:  Please keep fighting for this!  Omitting this feature is just crazy to me with all the amazing & powerful tools in Lr.  Its like planning and completing a manned mission to Mars and upon arrival,  realizing they forgot  to pack us boots.

I can't believe we are still campaigning for this feature!

Here's what causes me so much grief:  I photograph a lot of corporate/actor/modeling  headshots.  As a result, we proof over the web.  Most of my headshot sessions involve proofing between 10-100+  images per client session- with many image sequences being only slight changes in expression and head tilt. 
Now imagine you're the end user- WITHOUT AN ADOBE ACCOUNT- trying to determine your favorite images.  The lack of a simple filename below the thumbnail and below the loup view image  creates frustration and miscommunication with my clients because they can see the two, three or five images they love but they must either open each image, refer to  the '47/127' number in the lower-left or click THREE TIMES to discover the filename (once to get into Loupe View, once on the lower-right icon and again on the Photo Info tab. 
And even worse is when clients are using any number of devices to view the photos and then reference, "I like the one on the 2nd row- 9th from the left" BECAUSE THERE IS NO FILENAME.

Richard this is a step in the right direction- but still requires instruction for the end user to click to see it for reference- and only in loupe view.  Why can't we get a simple filename to display- without some 3rd party plugin?  At the very least, in lieu of the '1 of xx' location in the lower-left of the loupe view.  Ideally, I would like a filename below the thumbnails as well as in the loup view below the image.

Richard- this is a step in the right direction, but it takes three-clicks to see it... for each photo!  WHY can't we get a simple filename to display?  At the very least, in place of the '1 of xx'  indicator in the lower-left?  Or a parameter to display a filename on or below the images and thumbnails?   I am just boggled by this omission from this incredible product!   With all the amazing tools within Lightroom, it's like you've invented a highly technical spacecraft to go Mars but you forgot about boots to walk in once you got there.

Hello all, I thought you might be interested to know that as of today, the file name will also show in the Photo Info panel of shares.

My apologies.  I was in the owner's view, not the Share URL.  It does work there.  Still there appears to be a large number of us that would like the filename to be available in the info panel in the Share URL.  Is that not possible?  Thanks for your assistance and I apologize for my error.
