 +There is a nice command line tool called EXIFTOOL. It's available as a command line perl tool and as a standalone wondows executable. When named exiftool(-k).exe, ou can drop a file onto it in explorer and it will read and display the tags. Another tool which may be useful is EXIFTOOLGUI which needs exiftool in the same directory.

 +To batch load comments from a csv file, the following command line is used:\\
 +
 +{{:info:exif_example1.jpg|}}
 +
 +I used the following to read the comments loaded to the comment field earlier, then uploaded them into the XPcomment tag which is an MS Explorer tag.
 +It was a two step process, after reading into a csv file, the csv file header was edited to change "comment" to "XPcomment".\\
 +
 +
 +{{:info:2012-08-23_195847.jpg|}}\\
 +
 +Here is an example heading in the csv file:\\
 +
 +{{:info:2012-08-23_201657.jpg|}}
