Investigating this more, the XML file in the comment directory suffers silent data loss, although the information can be found in the Exif IPTC data fields. These IPTC fields only show up in gthumb 2.11's exif properties listing, and not the "Metadata" user-interface and so they are 1) not really visible and 2) (I believe) not editable from within gthumb. Here is an example XML file in the .comment directory in <=2.10 format and what it was converted into (silently). I've replaced some sensitive information, identically in each listing below: Original (line breaks probably muddled by email): <?xml version="1.0"?> <Comment format="2.0"><Place>ADDRESS REPLACED, HOMETOWN</Place><Time>1265839518</Time><Note>Thomas' loop track through the hallway</Note><Keywords></Keywords></Comment> New: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <comment version="3.0"> <caption/> <note>SONY DSC</note> <place>ADDRESS REPLACED, HOMETOWN</place> <categories/> </comment> "Thomas' loop track through the hallway" has been removed and replaced with "SONY DSC". When I click "Metadata" in 2.11 to edit the data for this file, I get a prefilled Description field of "SONY DSC". Expected behaviour: Pre-filled with "Thomas' loop..."
