Get/Set Value in Runtime

JavaScript
getImageUploader("ImageUploaderID").setFolderPaneShowDescriptions(value);

Property Value

A boolean value (true or false). If true, the Edit Description elements are displayed under thumbnails in the folder pane, otherwise they are invisible. The upload pane is not affected with this property.

Default value is "true".

Remarks

Note

This property has a higher priority than the ShowDescriptions. It means that if FolderPaneShowDescriptions is set to false in the script used to embed Image Uploader, Edit Description elements will be invisible in the folder pane 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.
