The above is what a cube face set generated by krpano droplet looks like when imported into P2VR. By default (all fields checked in P2VR->File-> Settings->ImageMetadata), P2VR is putting the file's XMP *description* into project's image UserData:Title. It should not be doing this.

Having dozens of previews all with the same "title" as shown above is problematic. Description != Title. If no XMP title is present, it should revert to the filename as default- and when doing so, it should remove trailing underscrores (which it presently does not).

If I uncheck "Description" from the Settings->ImageMetaData, but leave all others checked, and import the same cubeface set, I get the following-

Note how P2VR no longer tries to erroneously put the file's XMP:Description into UserData:Title, but that it also neglects to remove the trailing underscore that was part of the cubeface delineation (_f,_d,_b, etc).
