Write a comment for a JPG image from CMD

[danutzu77]

Hello,

I struggle for a few days to add a comment for a JPG image with exiftool from CMD.

Code Select Expand

C:\\exiftool.exe -comment="this is a test" test.jpg
1 image files updated
But the tool is not adding any comment.

Instead, if i add a titile, it works :

Code Select Expand

C:\\exiftool.exe -title="Hello World" test.jpg
1 image files updated

Do you have an idea what's going on

Yes it is.

Perhaps reading FAQ 3 will help.

I'm assuming you're reading the Windows property called "Comment".  What Windows calls "Comment" can actually be one of three different tags.  See this post for a translation of Windows property names into real tag names. 

In this case, Windows will read EXIF:UserComment, XMP:UserComment, and EXIF:XPComment to fill the Comment property.

@StarGeek, thank you very much !  EXIF:XPComment works wonderful for what i need.
May the force be with you
