Please support Descript.ion comments

Hi Marek
I am slowly converting from another file manager to FC XE. For most activities, XE offers as much or more functionality as the other tool, and I greatly prefer my custom XE panel layout (Tree-Files-Toolbar-Files-Tree). Thank you Marek, fantastic tool!
However...
I have been using the other tool for close to 20 years and have accumulated a large number of file comments in Descript.ion files scattered (one per folder) over many volumes. That other tool provides an interface to edit the file comments (storing them in the Descript.ion files) as well as a column in the file list to display these comments. The comments also participate in the search, filter, and rename dialogs.
Currently, I am unable use FC to view or change the Descript.ion comments.
This means I have to return to the other tool from FC to accomplish some of my routine file management.
Would you please consider providing a similar interface in FC? An ability to create new Descript.ion comments, edit old comments, display comments in the file lists, and use the comments in the search and filter tools would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for listening!
I prefer to use Descript.ion files for comments because of portability.
