Jpg properties-Summary fields

[Andy Scott]

In Windows XP I have added comments to jpegs using the right-click file properties - summary fields. I thought that these were the same as the EXIF comments field, but they just contain rubbish when viewed in Breezebrowser. Are Windows and Bfreezebrowser using different formats for the same fields? :confused:

It's best to avoid using Windows to do this because it will corrupt the MakerNote section of the EXIF data and you'll lose much of the camera-specific shooting data. I'm not sure where Windows stores the summary information but it definitely damages the EXIF data.
