Hi,
Tried adding comments to files (a useful feature in some cases) and the comments are added and saved. A file comment can be seen by selecting the file, doing a RMB click > Properties > Details > Comment. The comment is there.
However, the Dolphin File Manager doesn't show the comment content in the Details View Mode even though it shows the (empty) comment column. Am using ext4.
Any ideas? Thanks

I tested it on Debian 11 and I am able to go to Properties/Details and add a comment. The comment is then displayed. It looks like it might be a regression. Are you running Bookworm or Sid?

File Comments aren't a standard OS feature; each file manager will

do its own thing [1] . Which file manager/desktop environment did
you use to add those comments?

[1] And it's not as trivial as it looks at a first glance. I once
fell into that rabbit hole trying to "fix" Gnome file emblems
for somebody and I still carry the scars to show. Boy, am I
glad for the command line ;-)
