Error in writing XMP Metadata for Comments

Here is information about two test files I used yesterday. I used XnViewMP to write a Comment. I then wrote a Caption using XnViewMP. I then wrote a new Comment using XnviewMP. That file is "CommentWritten2nd.jpg". You can see the contents of the metadata fields for that iteration in my exiftool lisings. Note that in the Windows screenshot that the Comment in the the XMP:UserComment field isn't being listed by Windows.

Then I used XnViewMP to write an edited new Caption. The file "CaptionWritten2nd.jpg" is that file. Note that now Comment in the XMP:UserComment is now being listed by Windows.

I'll try to send you the actual .jpg files in a private message.

Here are metadata tags listed by an exiftool script I use to list tags:

Code: Select all

=====File: CommentWritten2nd.jpg
   Caption-Abstract: added caption3
   Comment (FILE:Comment)   : added comment4
   Comment (XMP:UserComment): added comment4
   XMP:Description: added comment4
=====File: CaptionWritten2nd.jpg
   Caption-abstract: added caption4
   Comment (FILE:Comment)   : added comment3
   Comment (XMP:UserComment): added comment3
   XMP:Description: added caption4
=== End of List ===

Here is the listing for the two files in Windows 10 File Explorer:
