Image description over more then one catagory

Hi,
Just started to fill my website with images. And again - I hope - the last question.
I uploaded images in a folder, which I created.
This folder is now added with "multiple add" to the category: NameOfTheBrewery.
Again, this folder NameOfTheBrewery has different parent categories (Cities, Breweries)

Example of the category structure:
Breweries
Cities
Breweries - NameOfTheBrewery
Cities - NameOfTheCity - NameOfTheBrewery

My problem or question:
Now I have all the images in the images view more than on time. At the end there will be four entries for the same image.
I give a short description to my images. So I have to give this description to all the Images (the same Images). Is there any possibility to give a description for an image, which will displayed in all categories ? (idea: give a description in the category NameOfTheBrewery as as master)

Hi, did you select the category when multiple add? When you have a tree of folders and images, you should not select any category as Multiple Add will transform folders to categories, subfolders to sucategories and thumbnails will be made from images.

Hello Jan

Yes I know, and thats ok (excempt of the problem)
.
Example
I have a category "cities"
in this category there is anoter (sub)category "Bern".
Result:
Cities - Bern

I have a category "ExistingYes"

What I do is as follow:
With "multiple Add" I add the folder "Brewery1" to "cities - Bern" ("Brewery1" becomes a category)
With "multiple Add" I add the folder "Brewery1" to "existingYes" (Brewery1 becomes a category)

Result
cities - Bern - Brewery1
ExistingYes - Brewery1

In the image list - and this is the problem - the images are twice, one with category
"cities - Bern - Brewery1" and the same image for "ExistingYes - Brewery1".

When I just add the images (not the folder) with "multiple Add" in
ExistingYes, all images will be in this category. But I need zu have all the different categories (Brewery1 - n) in this category.

What I realised is that in "multiple Add" I can give a title. Can I show this title, and could this sovle the problem?
(Then I could always choose the same images for different categories and hopefully the images would be displayed just once per image in the view)

in www.bierglaeser.ch you can see my idea (menu Biergläser)

Uff, complicated ;-)
