Q: File Comments in Windows and Mac

Hello…

When I write a file comment (photo, etc) in Mac OS, that comment isn't visible in a Windows OS and vice-versa.

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you!

FWIW, Finder comments are stored in metadata. When transferring files to different file systems, the metadata may be stripped off, or the other OS doesn't even try to process the metadata if it survives.
