JPEG comment software search

[Guest Peter in New Zealand]

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, have a look in http://www.snapfiles.com < Freeware tab across the top.

They have a great search engine.
