Comments for files in virtual folders are normally entered via the VFS, but to comment files in a real folder, you can't use this method.
To comment files in a real folder, you may use comment files.
Files of this kind are not listed, but if correct URL is supplied, they can be downloaded. There are 2 kinds of comment files: per-file and single comment files.

Per-file comment files

Per-File comment files contain the comment for a single file. To use comment files, you need to do only 3 things:

  • create a new text file,
  • put the comment in it,
  • save the file as [filename].comment

[filename] means the name of the file to be commented, so for example to comment file test.zip, your comment file would be test.zip.comment

Single comment files

In real-folders, you can create a file hfs.comments.txt
Each line in this file is in the format filename=comment, so you can specify comments for many files, but all must reside in that folder.
Notice: don't leave empty spaces before equal sign (=) .

Single comment files can be disabled with the option Virtual File System -> Load single comment files. It is enabled by default. If you disable it, then any file.comment will be listed.
