Guest Peter in New Zealand Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 It seems that jpeg comments, captions, labels, tags, and so on, are often called different things in different programs, and there's not much standardisation between them. After working with a variety of different programs, including Microsoft Digital Image Library, Faststone, Irfanciew, Picasa, XnView, and Windows Photo Gallery, I have settled on the EXIF field usually called "JPEG comment" to add, well, comments to my pics. Faststone and Irfanview both call it the same thing and both can read and edit it, which will do for me as I am comfortable with both programs. The thing is, now I am looking for some program that can show me thumbnails with the JPEG comments in an editable form so I can quickly go through a heap of images adding/amending the comments. Faststone and Irfanview are both slow when doing a large number. A sort of Windows Explorer type of interface with thumbnails down one side and a column for JPEG comments (editable) would do quite well I think. After all that, can anyone help me with a suggestion, preferably freeware? Thank you so much for any help. -- Peter in New Zealand.
