JAlbum gets round this by taking text from a .txt file.

photo1.jpg displays text from photo1.txt
photo2.jpg < photo2.txt and so on.

Unfortunately JA needs to be rebuilt each time the folder contents change
:-(

As this is dynamic, I like it :-)

Previous/Next links while the photo is open full screen would be nice too.
To work through an entire folder when there are lots of photos becomes a
drag continually returning to the index page.
