##### Get/Set Value in Runtime

JavaScript | Copy Code
--- | ---
    getImageUploader("ImageUploaderID").setShowDescriptions(value);
    value = getImageUploader("ImageUploaderID").getShowDescriptions();

##### Property Value

A boolean value (`true` or `false`). If `true`, the Edit Description elements are displayed under the thumbnails, otherwise they are invisible.

Default value is "true".

# Remarks

Note
This property has a lower priority than the FolderPaneShowDescriptions and UploadPaneShowDescriptions properties. It means that if both these properties are set to `false` in the script used to embed Image Uploader, Edit Description elements will be invisible even through the ShowDescriptions is set to `true`.

If these fields are visible, users can write descriptions for files before the upload. Descriptions can be added only in the `Thumbnails` view. Other view modes do not support it.

If this property is enabled and some descriptions are added, they are uploaded along with the images. These descriptions are sent in `Description_N` POST fields (where N is the index of an image). So the upload processing script (specified with the Action property) must analyze these fields as well. If this property is set to `false`, these fields are not uploaded.
