Hello Jaume,

Right now Gwenview only supports Nepomuk to store comments. It has the 
following advantages:
- Can associate comments to every image type.
- Does not modify the image, which is safer, and let you annotate 
read-only images too.

But it's true that there are advantages in embedding the comments inside 
the image. I think the best solution would be to add an option which 
would make Gwenview store comments in the image whenever possible, in 
addition to Nepomuk. What do you think about this?

It should be possible to show Nepomuk information in fullscreen view, 
thus showing embedded comments as well.
