This goes along with item #1 in my signature line. If Irfan could manage this, I believe IrfanView would be the first (if not the most widely-used) Windows app to have this accomplished.
Barring this: it would certainly be welcome to introduce a warning dialog, letting the user know that some metadata "may tend to run the length of your screen's visible area," or something phrased similarly to that, with an "Are you sure ...?" and the usual Yes/No buttons to go with it. The tags and fields I have in mind are JPEG comment, IPTC caption and EXIF photo user-comment or image-description.
I hope what I'm requesting is easily understood as I've phrased it. I made a similar request (twice) on the XnView forums and Pierre confided in a reply on the second thread that he wasn't sure he got what I was saying.
