It's reproducible with 6.1.0 pre-release AppImage bundle ?

As you can see here Google uses the description as title.
So you have to set a description, this is displayed correctly. Yes, the new Google Photo API has its own features. 

Of course we could mix with strings or pass the title instead of the description, but how do other users see it?

If I upload the photo with title and description via the web browser Google also uses only the description. The result is therefore identical.

Comment 4 Philippe ROUBACH 2019-03-31 06:20:03 UTC
Why I did this bug report? Because till 5.9 "title" and "captions" in digiKam were joint together and put in google photo in "description".
Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2019-03-31 07:33:42 UTC
Philippe,

Google changes the behavior of remote webservice and we have no control with it. I"m bot sure if we can do something in digiKam about this regression.

Comment 7 Philippe ROUBACH 2019-03-31 15:38:45 UTC
Hello i search the meaning of "title" and "caption"

"title" is a reference about picture. it's a data for the photographer workflow.
it may be a number or a text. i's not a description of what we can see in the picture.

"caption" is a comment about what we can see in the picture. it's for the person who view the picture in an album.

So it is non sense to joint "title" and "caption" to built a comment about what we see in the picture.

the problem is : for 10 years (?) digikam joint the 2 items erroneously to make a comment !
