RE: Photoshop Elements v5 Question

When I go out on my hikes, I take a lot of photos, and when I get home, I view them as a slide show to decide which photos need work, or deletion, or those that I will stitch to make a panorama.

What would be really nice would be to be able to see the filename at the bottom of the screen while the slide show is running,

That way I can just jot the photo number down with a quick note as to what I want to do with it. Since there in no filename in slideshow, it gets difficult to remember which photo is on display after a dozen or so,

I know I can just open the folder using the XP menu selections: <VIEW> <FILMSTRIP>, but that requires selecting each photo to see it larger than the thumbnail provided. I really want to automate the clicks for each photo.

Is there a way to display the filename during the slideshow? Or if it’s not possible in PSE, is there another application that will do this?
Thanks in advance.

Irfanview has two methods. ‘Automatic Viewing’ controlled by Shift A, start/stop, where the filename is displayed in the window frame. Or open ‘Thumbnails’, ‘File’, ‘Start slideshow with selected files’ . Under the main window ‘Options/Properties/Full Screen’ menu you can set the parameters for the file name to be on screen with placing, right, left, centre, bottom, top etc.; colour of font and size. You can even set it to show the Exif data if you want.
