Cant use embedded Comments in JPG's

Post by Acantiming »

I have downloaded today XnView Small Package for Windows. If i try to enter a comment it seems, that i cant save this. If i enter a comment and save it, i cant see this comment in WIndows Explorer, if i look at the propertys, the comment is empty. Do i make something wrong?

Yes. I see the Comment in XNView. If i add a comment in Windows Explorer, i could also see the Comment in XNView. I have found it under EXIF > XPComment. Additonaly i found another Problem, but thats not so important. On Work i use a Tool named "Hardcopy". This saves a embedded Comment in the *.jpg files. This comment has more than 1 Line. XnView displays only the first line, the second line isnt visible. If i try IrfanView, i can see all the Lines (but i doesnt like IrfanView).

Ok, Windows explorer use EXIF>Comment, XnView use JPEG>Comment

Is it possible to sync JPEG>Comment to EXIF>Comment via XNView?
