 * How can I make Shortcode in the image description work rather then display as
   text?
 * Or is there any chance you can add a option for playing sounds on mouse_over.

 * [@pureevil2002](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pureevil2002/) – Currently
   the image description is parsed and a shortcode will not translate as is although
   I can see some interesting applications on this idea.
 * As is, it would make a great Feature Request item here: [http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/feature-voting/)…
   please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas on it.
 * Thanks!
