    OK figured out the problem looking at the database - not all of pictures have EXIF data - those that do are the ones taken with the Olympus Digital Camera! And the camera embeded "olympus digital camera" as EXIFtitle and EXIFdescription.
    So Zen Photo is technically doing what it is told to do and it is picking automatically the EXIF data but in this case it is something we don't want: is there a way to exclude this automatic pickup from the images?? (it wasn't a problem before, is this a new feature with the latest update?)

    Picking up the title/description is not a new feature. There is not a way to exclude this behavior except not to do a metadata refresh.

    so what can be the workout then for upload thorugh admin and get title ? metadata refresh takes huge time when we have 100's of images.

    metadata refresh takes huge time when we have 100's of images.
    Only if you have a huge number of images in your album. But that is moot since the suggestion was NOT to do the refresh.

    Thank you sbillard for your help - this has made me realize it is better to get working on making the metadata perfect so that everything works out better overall. I found iTag for updating metadata and it seems to work really well... and that way I don't have to worry about whether a refresh will delete important info.

    I've run into this OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA title issue just today, as a matter of fact. I'm uploading a massive amount of photos through FTP to my server into the Albums directory (over 1,000). Is there any way to fix these particular images, or am I hosed? Thanks.

    I guess you really mean any way to fix short of going and editing each image. I am not aware of any "fixit" script although such a script would be fairly simple so long as you can tell which images you want to fix.
