These conflicts with this Bug 368796 where the users want to make different entries in these fields. The current state is that Exif.Image.ImageDescription is only set if it is empty and does not always overwrite with the contents of Exif.Photo.UserComment. What to do? Maik I'll undo the change and add a new function to the Metadata Editor that will separately update Exif.Image.ImageDescription.

What to do? > > Maik I found the problem was with this implementation in DK6 was with images that already had ImageDescription set, for example any image with a caption saved by DK5 or earlier where the default behaviour was to write the caption to this field. Also if you delete the caption and synchronize it will delete all caption metadata except the ImageDescription, then the next time it rescans the file it will find the old ImageDescription and import it to the Caption again.
