“Caption” vs. “Description”

This is a really nice plugin, thanks for taking the time to write and maintain it.

Using native WP galleries, I cannot get photonic to use the “description” field vs. the “caption” field (as seen in the WP media editor). If the “caption” is empty but the “description” is not, photonic will not display any content.

I believe this is because at line 127 of Photonic_Native_Processor you always use the caption:

$photo_object['description'] = esc_attr($wp_details['caption']);

If this is expected, perhaps the plugin can use the WordPress labels as seen in the media item library, where ‘caption’ is equivalent to the post_excerpt field and ‘description’ is equivalent to the post_content? (So the shortcode caption options might be “title-caption” or “caption”, etc?)

This could also potentially be solved by calling get_the_excerpt using the attachment ID, as WP would (in theory) look at the post_caption field first and if nothing was there automatically generate an excerpt from the post_content field.
