 Hi Alexander,
 I do not see the point. You still can have all kind of exiv stuff, also
 comments, in the side pannel. Just drag and drop it from the exif pannel
 or enter it by hand. What is wrong with this way?

There is, probably, nothing wrong with that way. But, it's known that
some unreliable software can either drop Exif data or damage it after
file editing/re-saving.
Sure, JPEG comments (JC) is no guaranty from that kind of software too,
it's just good to have that many ways to save comments as possible, I
think.

It's not that JC support in Geeqie is like killer feature for me.
I can use GIMP to create new images with JCs or use CLI exiv2 utility to
edit them.

Almost every well-known images viewing software has support for JCs,
e.g. XnView, FastStone. If you think Geeqie doesn't need it, I won't
insist.

I can not follow your argumentation. First you say that resaving a image
might be dangerous and than you mention that you would like to have jpeg
comment editing in geeqie.

But there is still the feature to edit jpeg comment like every other
exif value. But it is impossible to save jpeg comments without changing
the image! (Well, you can save it in a sitecar but that doesn't count.)

At the moment I do not see exactly what you want to do. Do you want to
save a comment as jpeg comment without resaving the image?

Regards
   Klaus
