That's the point, I want the comments in exif area, inside the jpegs. Portable.
I very clearly rember a moment where the Kde explorer had an exif editor, but I don't use it, so... this discussion happen often here and elsewhere
Yes, I remember a few of them.
at a moment baloo was needed, I don't even kow how this is for Leap
One can use Digikam that can write exifs, IPTC...
But apparently it want's to "import" photographs, instead of just working with a directory. Ok, checking the tools I have in the context menu. Gimp: not a viewver, and just for editing comments is way too heavy and slow. Shotwell: a possibility, as I already use it for other things. But it has to import the photos first. As an advantage, it displays the comments below the photos in the overall display. XV: only displays a single photo. gthumb: suitable, writes comments to exif, easily allows to save some other data. Displays a single photo plus the rest of the directory in another panel. At this point, I notice a directory in the folder named ".comments", with a file named as the photo plus an ".xml" file that contains the test comment I just wrote in gthumb. Now I also notice that the comment in the Exif data is incomplete, trimmed short. The complete comment is in the xml file. I also notice in preferences that it says "store metadata inside files if possible". I guess it thinks my comment is too large. Thus gthumb is not suitable. ICC Examin: not suitable, it is not a viewer. Hugin PTT generator: not suitable, it is not a viewer. F-Spot: crashes. Okular: No edit. Showphoto: easy access to rotate, but saves one by one. No access to EXIF coments, or I don't see it. Crashes on some actions. Gwenview: best rotate functionality, but comments are not saved on exif. On the photo tools main menu: Panorama: crashes on start. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
