I need to make a java program which takes a directory of images and displays them one at a time - Fair enough. However, alongside this picture viewer I need a text box in which the user may comment about this individual picture. This should then be saved to the image so that if I ended execution and re-run the program loading the same directory again the comment attached to the specific image remains. Similarly if I move on to a different picture and come back the comment remains.
I know this can be achieved in multiple ways but im not sure how to best approach it.
Does anyone have an advice for me? All help is greatly appreciated
Thanks :)

Are you looking for EXIF ? This works with TIFF, JPEG, PNG and other common image formats. It looks a better fit to your requirements than dealing with XML files containing the image metadata.
