I am a long time fan of Irfanview, but this is my first posting. My platform is Windows 10, 64 - bit. Iview 4.51-32bit. I have difficulty consistently viewing captions on full screen, slideshow. I have inserted $I120 in full screen options, and sometimes see the caption properly displayed. Most of the time the caption is not visible. Sometimes if I click on a full screen image without a visible caption the caption then appears. Most of the time I just navigate to the end of the folder. How can I consistently view the caption?

Are the caption text colours suitable for seeing them against any image?Before you post ... Edit your profile • IrfanView 4.62 • Windows 10 Home 19045.2486

Maybe that is the problem. The $I120 that you put in the Full Screen options will display whatever is entered in the Caption field of the IPTC metadata. If your Nikon CaptureNX2 program has not filled that in then you are not going to see it in the overlay on the Fullscreen display.
If it is not there press key I to show the Information dialog. At bottom left are the buttons to see what is in the EXIF metadata and the IPTC metadata (if they exist at all). If there is an IPTC button click on it to see what is in the Caption field. What are you expecting to recover from that field? Is it just the file name? If so you can use $F instead and Irfanview will supply it.
