[Digikam-users] Reread Metadata from Images not importing EXIF "Image Description" as caption.

We currently do not read this property. We read a good choice of other 
properties - three XMP values, Exif UserComment, IPTC Caption -  but this one 
may have slipped attention.

Gilles:
Exif.Image.ImageDescription, 270 / 0x10e
Should we add this to DMetadata::getImageComments() ?
