Comment:

 I stumbled upon this ticket yesterday and I am still startled, that anyone
 is thinking about working around a bug in the software of a camera
 manufacturer with a customization of Wordpress core. It is a default
 setting of the image description metadata field of the EXIF, that can not
 be changed in the camera settings of Olympus cameras. WordPress is working
 correctly and puts the image description in the appropriate field.

 I own an E-M1 myself and know about that issue, since I shot my first pics
 with it. But instead of expecting any software I use should fix this for
 me, I correct the EXIFs by myself in my image processing workflow. And I
 strongly believe that's the right way to handle this.

 BTW: has anyone got in touch with Olympus about that?
