[QUOTE="RaveDude, post: 206325, member: 56465"] At the moment the plugin reads the JPEG comment marker and the exif tag 10e(hex). I can add support for the user comment field also. Comments added with irfanview and imgdescribe should work at least. ImgDescribe corrupts/loses some exif fields (there is a warning about that when you start the program.) Also Microsoft's SDK's classes corrupt some exif fields when you add/edit a field, that's why my mod edits the JPEG comment marker (I coded the comment adding/editing part myself). You can edit the comments one by one inside mediaportal via F9/edit comment or you can create a hotkey for the edit comment action, but I assume by "batch editing" you mean that you for example add the same comment to all images in a folder etc..? At the moment I'm a bit busy IRL, so it might take a while for the next update. In the next version I'm planning to start using fade labels, so that longer comments will scroll and a second label for comments so that you can use 2-line comments. I think the error is because the .dlls have been compiled from a different SVN version, I have been doing some structural changes in the code to make the mod footprint smaller, and easier to add it to a newer svn version and compile. However, in my tests the plugin worked fine, except for the error in the configuration. The strings-en.xml is included with the new strings "edit comment", etc.. If you use Italian in media portal then everything else is in Italian except the new strings, which media portal reads from the strings-en.xml if it's not found in the current language's xml.
