Valerio, 

Don't use Exiv2Ifave to get Image Comments, but the host application kipi 
interface.

Some file formats cannot embeded Comments. This is why the host application 
store this one in a separate way (digiKam database for example).

The returned string is a QString, and the encoding format is easy to parse 
with Qt API

Look like it's done into SendImages plugins to get comments from host.
