Actually now I can delete the comment.

What is not fixed is that if I select the "store metadata inside files
if possible" option gthumb (or something else) keeps creating and
deleting rapidly a file like .goutputstream-E7VHPW (every file which is
created has a different code after .goutputstream-) in the .comments
folder, and this hogs the cpu and the disk. On ssd it should be a
serious issue because it should reduce significantly ssd life.
