Description Frédéric Bron 2014-01-28 08:15:18 UTC 
I like to write the description of my images in the EXIF field UserComment. I do not use ImageDescription because this can only handle ASCII text, not UTF-8.
One thing I would love is to display some custom text in the status bar. This text could be edited, for example like this: {EXIT:DateTimeOriginal} - {EXIF:UserComment}
This is just an example.
I now that it is possible to display this information in the information pane which has been very much improved in 4.12 version but it still takes too much space on the screen.

The same thing would be wonderful in full screen mode also. When I show my images to friends, I like to give some explanations but when in full screen mode, I do not have access to the EXIF UserComment field.
The "advanced diaporama" plugin can only show the progression 1/N, the file name and the "legend" but this one does not print anything for me, I suspect it prints the ImageDescription field.

I want to link those related bugs with this one: Bug 110527, Bug 116164, Bug 110500

Do they depend on each other? Apparently not, so they should not be linked. 

It would be better to make one master report for the image data, and then make it depend on the resolution of the others.
Comment 3 Jaume 2014-06-18 11:18:46 UTC 
Sure, a master report that includes all those bugs would be better. I just wanted to link them in some manner because they all are related to comments and jpg metadata, although don't have dependencies a priori.

PS. In Jira bugtracking system one can link issues indicating the relationship (duplicates, relates to, blocks or clones), but I didn't see a similar option here.
Comment 4 Myriam Schweingruber 2014-06-18 11:43:33 UTC 
There is an option, available for the product owner and people with appropriate rights, of course, but those do not either depend on each other nor do they block, so it makes no sense to link them through that option. Linking to a master bug makes more sense.

Mind you: not all are really related, some are about displaying metadata, other about saving it, so those should not be linked anyway. Looks to me like more work to group them than actually implementing the feature....

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

I do not see it being solved. However this is more a feature suggestion than a bug so it could maybe be closed.
