Image SXM
Sets the Finder comment of the image file (see note below) or all files in the same folder as the image file. A dialog box allows the user to select image parameters that can be concatenated with the image comment to form the Finder comment. If the option key is pressed or if the command is called from a macro then the dialog box is suppressed. The dialog box can also be accessed from the 'Comment' button in the SXM Preferences dialog box.

Notes on Finder comments:

The 'image file' referred to above is taken to be either (i) the file to which the image was saved or, if the image has not yet been saved, (ii) the file from which the image was loaded.

The Finder comments can be viewed by selecting 'View/as List' and selecting 'Comments' from the 'Show Columns' list in the 'View Options' dialog box.

In the Finder, the list of files can be sorted alphanumerically by the comments, and so consideration should be given to the order in which image parameters are concatenated to construct the comment.
