 Replying to [comment:9 Otto42]:
 > I made a quick plugin to fix this minor problem with Picasa captions a
 few months ago. Looks like the fields are just being used wrongly by WP to
 me.

 Picasa now takes the "caption" in Picasa and maps that to the `title`
 field in EXIF data. I don't believe anything maps to the EXIF caption
 field via Picasa now.

 Maybe we can do something like a fallback here. Set the caption in
 WordPress to caption in EXIF data. If that's not set, try the title.
