Show current title/tags by an overlay component

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A nice feature for the gphotoframe would be to display current's photos 
title/tags on hover.

The information are accessible in the source code and don't disturb if you 
don't hover over the picture.

gphotofram should display a title and some infomation in a tooltip when
the mouse pointer hover over the photo frame.

I don't understand what you mean.

Yes, it does display a tooltip.

It would be nice, if all tags associated to the current picture would be shown. 
This could be done by an overlay component because the tooltip would not be 
sufficient.

I agree that this is a feature I too would like to see. The tooltip is nice but 
I would like to see the ability to see to have it displayed over top of the 
picture. Not sure what the best location for this is. 

Possible options for where the user could select to have this displayed over 
top of the picture are:

Top 
Bottom
In each of the 4 corners of the display.

Have info switch from corner to corner. New setting to control how often it 
switches corners.

Having the info move around the screen like a bouncing ball. New setting to 
control how fast it moves across the screen.

A bit more reasoning for why I would want this feature. I use Gphotoframe on a 
LCD as a photo frame the laptop that runs it is in another room. Instead of 
having to run into the other room and move the mouse to see where a photo comes 
form I could just look at the overlay. 

I have photos from my facebook wall and from other peoples facebook albums in 
the list. Just would be nice to know where the photo comes from at a glance.
