Reply To: Copying Metadata in Comments Field

[John Spear]

While not the most user-friendly method, there is one command-line utility ExifTool that can read & update both jpeg and “XP” comments entered by Windows Explorer: ExifTool by Phil Harvey.  Using this tool, a script could be created to read the XP comment and write it out to the proper IPTC field. Then you could continue in your organizing tool of choice with the XP comments properly visible.
