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.
I see shotwell reads the gthumb written comment. Not the other way round. And shotwell also does not write the full comment to the jpg (size limit, I guess), but I don't know where it writes the full comment. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
