The problem is when you have for example 100 photos in single page gallery. Then if you want to add/change picture title you have to scroll down and search for the picture file name in thumbnails section, after that you have to scroll up to files section, to edit the description then go back to gallery. It's harder to change the description than to pass next. And people tend to not do it.
Second is that if the description could be edited directly from the gallery, then attachment and thumbnails sections could be hidden by other template. That way Deki will be much cleaner to be used as image gallery as a section.
I hope someone could do something like that.

That certainly is possible, but I must say honestly it's more work than I could justify right now. It's not too hard to add descriptions to attachments using Mindtouch's existing UI. This would be a bit nicer, but not a huge value (at least, not to me), and not enough to make it onto my "todo" list for the moment. I would of course invite anyone else to add this functionality! :)

Cool template! It will be even more useful if titles and descriptions could be edited with click on them. And those new titles and descriptions to be saved in the target attached file on the page.
Is that possible?
@varosi
Sure, it's possible. I'm not sure exactly when I'll get around to it, but I'll see what I can do. The results would have to be presented differently, since percentages don't make sense when multiple answers are possible. How would you like the results to look?
