Hi !

from V20, the field "$INFO[EXIFComment]" which I have been using since Leia as a personal tag in Slideshow.xml labels is now showing empty.

Double checking the pictures with exiftool, the tag UserComment is still correctly documented of course, just not properly reported in Slideshow.

Strange enough if I try "$INFO[SlideComment]" instead, which according to the documentation should be the same as EXIFComment, it give me a weird string like "Lavc.59...". So obviously not empty, but not equal either to the EXIFComment.

All was fine up to Matrix as well.

My addition to Slideshow.xml if ever usefull :

        <!-- PP - DEBUT Insertion INFOS Picture -->
        <control type="label">
            <description>Commentaire et Date PP</description>
            <posx>20</posx>
            <posy>60r</posy>
            <width>1880</width>
            <height>50</height>
            <align>center</align>
            <aligny>center</aligny>
            <font>font45_title</font>
            <textcolor>orange</textcolor>
            <label>$INFO[Slideshow.EXIFDescription] - $INFO[Slideshow.EXIFComment]</label>
                        <animation effect="fade" time="1000">WindowOpen</animation>
                        <animation effect="fade" time="1000">WindowClose</animation>        
        </control>
        <!-- PP - FIN Insertion INFOS Picture -->

Thanks for helping !

Yes this looks very much the same issue as your reported. I could easily reproduce my problem with field EXIFComment using your JSON call proposal.

So I did not create a new issue but added a comment on yours.
Hope this is OK and we see a solution soon, because right now it is a big drawback with Nexus and Pictures
