convert -comment

[Joel Hammer]

I seem to recall having had this problem before. I forget
how I solved it, so...

I have a script which annotates jpg's, and somewhere this
command is used:

convert -comment "New comment" photo.jpg newphoto.jpg

This used to work as expected, replacing the old
comment with the new. However, after a crash or two and
reinstalling the software a couple of times, this command
appends to the current comment in the image rather than
replacing it.

I would give you the version number of convert, but I
don't see how to list it or get it out with strings.

I have tried to install an updated version of imagemagick,
but with the lindows warehouse I am told I have the
newest version and with apt-get I am told I have a broken
dependency.

Any insight appreciated,

Joel
