Searchable id: yorba-bug-3516
Original author: Adam Dingle
Original description:

JPEG files can contain comments, which are apparently distinct from EXIF
metadata. See the table of JPEG markers at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG#Syntax_and_structure

We should investigate whether other photo programs handle these comments and
whether they treat them as titles, descriptions or something else entirely. We
can update the PhotoTags page with the results of our investigations. Finally
we may wish to support these in Shotwell (perhaps along with #1573).

  * **Description** updated (diff)
  * **Category** set to _library-mode_

There's a proviso to this feature. Today metadata writing inhibits duplicate
detection. We have a ticket to ignore metadata when doing duplicate detection
(#3487). This is going to be doubly difficult if duplicate detection has to
ignore certain fields within the JPEG structure as well.
