I already tested it on a test site and will upload it shortly to the live one I'm building.
It does print the option value under the thumbnail.
First, you upload the two files to your server, to the locations the author specifies in the thread.
Next, suppose your option name is Color and option value Black.
You create a medium size image and call it black_MED.jpg and upload it to your images/medium/attributes subfolder, which you create.
You upload via Attribute Manager your image swatch black.jpg, which is a thumbnail you created on the basis on your medium image, resizing it.
That's it!
Refresh page and you will see Click to Enlarge on top of your thumb and Black (your option value) underneath, the link to the larger image is created and launches in a new window.
I have selected 0 as the layout for this option (in Edit Layout), but if you change layout it might behave differently, haven't tested this for long yet.
This mod doesn't conflict with IH2 AFAIK, not sure about the thumbnail generator, when I had both scripts installed, some weird things were happening.
I will test further, and let you know my findings if you are interested.

If it hadn't been for your instructions I would never have got that mod (from thread 60833) to work, many thanks. (Actually, your instructions are just a little wrong, but I won't go into details here!)
I do however, have a problem with this mod. It requires that there is yet another folder for images - and I don't want to use my medium-sized images. I would like to be able to use my own large images from the standard Zen Cart folder i.e. images/large. Still it's very,very close. I might see if I can hack the code to get it to work the way I want it to!!
