Can I copy a file with its comments?

How do I copy one or more images with their associated comments?  When I copied images, the comments I'd added to them weren't accessible in the duplicate.

 

Thanks

    Comments only apply to a specific version of a file. They aren't copied if you make a copy of the file.

    Many thanks, Rich.  I recommend that,when it can, Dropbox consider adding the transfer of comments with duplicated images as it's a very useful feature when one needs to organize the same images in different folders. 

     

    All the best,
