Description Bjoern Aage Brandal 2006-08-14 00:19:20 UTC 
Version:           0.8.2 rc1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

From what I can see the comments in digikam are stored in the EXIF data "jpgComment" wich is a limited field with respect to e.g. number of characters.

It would be very nice if the add comment function is divided into two fields, one for the (limited) jpgComment and one field for the jpgUsercomment (which does not have limitations for the text length). Then a short comment could be added to the jpgComment field (e.g to shortly describe the image for use in krename for renaming the files), and a larger more detailed description added in the "jpgUser comment" field (e.g. the story behind the image etc.)

For the slideshof it should then be configurable if the jpgComment field, the jpgUser comment field or both should be displayed.
