Isn't the caption the same as the description?  I mean, when I used the
flickr export, the caption in f-spot ended up as the photo description in
flickr.

Flickr has two text fields for each photo: the title and the description.
Currently when f-spot exports to flickr, it uses the photo filename as the
title, which looks ugly as the OP mentioned, because they're all
imgpXXXX.jpg or dscrxxxx.jpg.

I'm not a fan of having my photos renamed on disk, though; I like the
filenames to stay as they are.  I'd just like to be able to give each one a
short title as well as, or instead of, a caption.

Then again, if writing too much about my photos sounds absurd, maybe the
easy fix is to just upload the photos without a title :)
