Hello, I want to see the description from descript.ion in list view, but I can't find the right column. I tried to activate all, but it wasn't there. Is there a different way?
Thank you and a happy new year

But comment is different, it changes the file. I'm using descript.ion files and so need the descript field in list view.

"Comment" field shows the embedded comment. If there is no comment, the description in the descript.ion file is shown.

Ah, I see. The problem is, that many of my pictures have a comment like "Intel(R) JPEG Library, version [1.51.12.44]". So first would have to remove those comments to see description. Not optimal for me.

I'd suggest an option to set "search order":
(o) 1. descript.ion 2. Comment
( ) 1. Comment 2. descript.ion
