When you use Picassa to create captions for images these captions are stored in the IPTC/Caption field of the image files, and Gallery displays the captions in the EXIF Photo Properties for each photo.
I am confused a little... Gallery seems to be copying this field (IPTC/Caption) to its own "Description" field, even though there doesn't seem to be any setting to have it do this in the EXIF module.
In any event, I would like to request an option for the IPTC/Caption field to be copied to Gallery's "Title" field instead of "Description".
