What is the status of this option?

I have thousands of images with JPEG comments, most inserted using Gwenview 
1.4.  If the virtues of Nepomuk are compelling, then there should at least 
be a program for converting JPEG comments to the new scheme -- or the 
converter should be built into Gwenview.  Otherwise, those of us who used 
the comment feature of Gwenview 1.4 will have lost a lot of invaluable 
information.  Personally, I was happy with JPEG comments, so the option of 
restoring this capability would be welcome.  If an update to Gwenview is 
going to provide this option, then I am disinclined to use the current 
version in the interim as I will wind up with a batch of images commented in 
a format different from the format used for most.  However, I prefer the new 
version, so I hope that an update will appear soon.
