"When I select the "Edit caption" option from the menu, the editing
dialog always shows an empty text area, even if the picture has a
caption associated with it. This makes it very cumbersome to e.g.
correct a mistake in the caption.

The text area should contain the previous caption as the default value.

Also, in the same dialog, the default focus should be on the text area.
Now it is on the OK button, which doesn't make any sense, especially
with the text area being empty."


This is still the case with digikam 0.10.0 rc1. I think this is sensible expectation for the user and could be implemented for the case where only single image is selected. Old caption should be selected/highlighted in order to allow simple overwrite.
