Hi!
I'm trying to write comments to jpg files in a fast way using <ctrl-D> "Edit Comment" window and I have some problems and questions:
1) in the right upper corner there are two buttons with "<" and ">" in grey color. I would think pressing them I should go to the next/previous slide to see/edit comment but this is unfortunately not working. This would be great for me to save time to write the comments (a keyboard shortcut to go to next/prev slide would also be better)
2) After writing an embedded comment with Xnview to a jpg file, if I read the comment afterwards with "jhead" command line tool, one strange character "0xef" appears at the end of the string, as an example:
> jhead test.jpg | grep Comment | xxd

00000010: 6869 7320 6973 206d 7920 636f 6d6d 656e his is my commen
00000020: 743f 0a t?.
3) If I use "descript.ion" file, pressing <ctrl-d>, goes directly to the comment box and I can write directly, what is very nice! But I do not want to use this file, so I deactivate it and pressing <ctrl-d> does not jump to the comment box. If I want to go with the keyboard and I must press <tab> 3 times to go to the comment box.
Thank you very much in advance for writing this wonderful tool!

0xef or 0x3f?2) After writing an embedded comment with Xnview to a jpg file, if I read the comment afterwards with "jhead" command line tool, one strange character "0xef" appears at the end of the string, as an example:

so if "comment" is disabled, you would like to go directly to comment field, right?3) If I use "descript.ion" file, pressing <ctrl-d>, goes directly to the comment box and I can write directly, what is very nice!
