For some bizarre, unknown, and annoying reason, MacOS X maintains 2 different comments for every item. Carbon programs (like KDX) are given access to one set of comments, but the MacOS X Finder uses a different set of comments. Carbon programs are unable to obtain the comments set by the Finder, and the Finder does not display the comments set by Carbon programs. This seems to be a fault in MacOS X. Haxial does not know of any solution.
