For raw files (and perhaps other formats as well), dt doesn't write to the 
original image file, and I don't think image viewers bother with sidecar 
files. So your image viewer doesn't get to see the title and description (nor 
tags/keywords you added!)

You get the description and title fields written in exported files (if you 
didn't change that), and then your image viewer should pick them up.
