XnView Software

The comment of a jpeg is not displayed in browser mode (affected views: details, thumbnails & details).

BTW: I can't add comments/description at options->browser->thumbnail->labels. Is there any reason/is it intended like that?

No confirmation. Comment added with XnView Edit->Edit comment is fe. displayed is status bar, if Browser->Info in status bar set to Comment.

Edit: Sorry, I misunderstood problem. Now I can confirm.

Right i confirm

Often comment or description are long, so too long for the label. Is it needed??

It's possible to use IPTC.Caption and this field is for the same purpose (isn't it?). Right now, you simply cut the text if it's too long. Perhaps you better use ellipses (...), so the user knows, that the text is cut.

Ok, i'll comment in label list

b2, deleted .ini

Now there are 2 items for EXIF: Comment (last and 6th from the end) after adding them to displayed labels, after reopening Options dialog EXIF: Comment ist still avaliable in the left list.

I added Comment (not Description) to JPEG file with no EXIF. Now the comment is displayed in status bar, but there is no EXIF in image?!?

Status bar is not updated after changing Comment in browser.

Comment is still not displayed on label (also for image with proper EXIF).

If you have a picture with user comment not shown, could you send me it?

Wait a second, I think I am lost: there is description, IPTC Comment, EXIF Comment and ANOTHER comment? Where is it stored???

Kind regards,

Clo

Descriptions (Edit>Describe) are stored in descript.ion. And Edit>Metadata>Set comment????

b3, Comment can now be added as Label and is visible in Thumbnails&Details

Oh, BTW, I guess that THIS comment is written into header of JPG file.

Solved.
