Description Will Stephenson 2009-02-18 09:38:53 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

The Edit Image Caption dialog (Image->Metadata->Edit Captions...) does not contain existing caption metadata when it appears, either captions embedded in the image file or entered previously using this dialog.

You could argue that since there are multiple possible metadata sources for the caption, show nothing, but that would be inconsistent with the behaviour of the Capture/Tags sidebar in Digikam, which does show caption data.
Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2011-04-05 09:45:58 UTC 
This dialog is obsolete. In digiKam, use Captions and Tags tab from right side bar.

Git commit bf3304041ef7ec541f1f80dea8e89d9348493c2e by Gilles Caulier.
Committed on 05/04/2011 at 10:01.
Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'.

remove obsolete caption edit dialog. Use Caption and tags tab for digiKAm right side bar instead, which is more powerfull.
I support multi-language, multi-authors, Exif, Iptc, and XMP
