I exported a image with description and title. None of the tools on Ubuntu showed it me though exiftool showed it to me. I was thinking there is some other use for these fields.

Thank you,

Apologies if this sounds really dumb question, but I am trying to figure
out what's the usage of fields like description/title. I could not
figure out a way to edit these fields from darkroom view, but lightroom
allows me to set the values.


If you set title and/or description, are there any other tools - may be
like web browser or file explorer like tools that can show the
information on mouse hover or something. I think it will really neat if
functionality already exists.

At least on Ubuntu, I did not see title/description displayed in default
image viewer or image properties even though it shows other information.

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.
