Re: caption overwritten in BQM

Hi Maik

what do you mean by "langage" in  "/more text to an existing language/"?

my use case is to add new information in the caption field when new JPEG 
is generated from a BQM job
Initialy I use this field to provide the description of the picture, but 
after , when running a BQM job, I would like to record some information 
relative to the job used , in order to store the history of the JPEG 
versions when generated by BQM, and then to be able to produce it again 
if required.
I didn't find other option, the menu "version" only provide the list of 
versions

Inserting a line break would be fine

Regards
Frederic
