People may read it once, but then I don't see why it should be globally available after that taking half the space of the screen while the user navigates thumbnails? In any case, I could perhaps create a subtle scroller function for the text itself if it is very big, to avoid it taking too much space, but you will still be responsible that items don't overlay eachother.
Karl I see your point and I agree with you even though I have a "workaround idea".
Would it be possible to display the folder description (with vertical scrollbars !) only when a user accesses the folder from the gallery menu, but
not when a user clicks on thumbnails view from the main controls ?
In this case, a "first visit" to the folder would give further textual information, while navigating inside the same folder wouldn't display again the text.
