Bridge Slideshow captions show filename only

Report · Jun 01, 2024

I'm using Bridge 14.1.0 on a Mac running Sonoma 14.4.1. I would like to display the Description metadata field in Slideshow captions. In Settings > Thumbnails I have specified "Show: Description" and I can see the Descriptions just fine in the Bridge window when I select "View > As Thumbnails". However when I play a Slideshow by going to "View > Slideshow Options..." and choosing "Caption: Full", I see only the filename, with blank space below it. In fact I am unable to display any other metadata at all. Is there a fix/workaround for this?

The slideshow caption seems to bear no relationship to what one sets under Thumbnails>Show...

With Cation:Full I too see only the filename.

With all the other options I see nothing at all!

You are probably better off using Lightroom Classic or some other slideshow software.
