I need the support for the Jpeg style comment. Gthumb should support
this standard way to use the comments providing a way to edit them and
to show them (also when embedded into nautilus).

thanks

Hi Mario,

Doesn't the "Comment" feature of gThumb do just that?
I'm not sure whether this works within Nautilus, but when running gThumb
'standalone', I certainly can add, remove and change comments of jpeg
pictures.

Or am I missing your point completely?

Thanks,
Remco

Gthumb use a "proprietary" way to attach the comments to the images (it's
also true that it works with all the types of images). It puts the comments
in a centralized archive that lives into "./gnome2/gthumb/comments/"
directory. This is really BAD (there are other complaints about this),
because if you move the images (without using gthumb to do that) the
comments are lost. You can't send the images with the comments attached. You
can't store your old pictures into a CD-R. This is a specific
gthumb-solution.
The jpeg standard provides a way to attach a comment to the jpeg images. You
can check the utility 'jhead'. Alto Gimp2 supports the jpeg comments (try
it!). Also the EXIF extensions has another specific field comment.

I'm not saying that gthumb should forget its system of comments, but I'm
hoping that it provides the support to edit and to show the jpeg comments
(that is a STANDARD).

If you view a directory into nautilus as 'catalog' you can see the
gthumb-specific-comments (but usually nautilus crash :'( ).

bye

Hi Paolo,

And another feature request, by the same user: support for jpeg image
comments. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=245980
for more details.

Thank you,
Remco
