Folks,
I've been off the Net for something close to a year. The last version of IrfanView I installed, on Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x64, did not show XPComment or XPSubject tags I'd added to files from ExifTool in Cygwin and GNOME 2. Is there a reason why a Windows-native, nay, ONLY written for Windows, graphic viewing application does Not display these tags? The author of Exiftool, Phil Harvey, and the author of Exiv2, Andreas Huggel, I'm sure would like to hear it as much as I would. These gents go out of their way to include these tags in their Linux/Unix command-line (okay, ExifTool is also a Perl library and Exiv2 one for C) tools when they really don't have to at all.
Windows 7 Explorer itself shows these tags in the Preview pane of Windows. Why doesn't IrfanView show them in its own GUI? This confuses me. I'm not asking for edit support; I just want to see them when I have a JPEG in my main viewer window and click on Image>Information>EXIF Info (when that button shows, by its asterisk, that there's EXIF info to show).
