Show exif comment tag

[AnthillSudoku]

Hi, in the setting there is an option to show some tags at fullscreen, such as camera and exif (some of them).

It would be useful to display image comment.

I use gthumb to add comment inside "description" tag and exiftool shows it in "Description" + "User Comment" + "Caption-Abstract". Honestly, I have no idea which is the right one/standard to use.

Thanks for your app

I stumbled upon this issue for the same reason: started using gThumb to organize my photos, and wondered if my phone's gallery app was able to display comments/descriptions embedded as metadata. After a bit of research and according to Exiv2's metadata reference for Exif, "Description" (Exif.Image.ImageDescription) is a simple ASCII title, "User Comment" Exif.Photo.UserComment is a newer one without character code limitations, and I couldn't find the "Caption" one (even though I saw mentions of it here and there).

I read some issues (#282 ) saying that Simple Gallery is not a metadata editor, and considering how many properties there are out there it's understandable, but I think comment/description/caption would be a useful and more reasonable feature.

I've done some Android development in the past but not in Kotlin yet, I'll try to look into it and see if I can come up with something

+1 I absolutely support this request and I share @TickingFeather 's view that editing EXIF tags might be out of scope, but viewing common EXIF tags is clearly one aspect of "looking at galleries": I often browse some older albums and then it's part of the game to have descriptions also.

Viewing some EXIF data is already supported, but I'd vote for supporting viewing IPTC Caption. This would be really useful.
