Where does Total Commander store file comments?

Question

The feature is in Files > Edit comment

I thought that it's stored in NTFS ADS but dir /R doesn't show any additional streams. I've also checked \AppData\Roaming\GHISLER and \AppData\Local\GHISLER but found nothing

Answer 1

The comments are stored in the descript.ion file within the same directory.

Both this format as well as TotalCmd itself predate NTFS ADS – usage of descript.ion was inherited from MS-DOS file management software such as Norton Commander. (Hence the "Use DOS font" checkbox.)
