Repair tool correctly fixes corrupt usercomment but changes imagedescription to description

[mgray06]

**Version V1.10.0

• OS: Linux Mint
• Version 20.2 Cinnamon
• Package deb

Describe the bug
jExifToolGUI correctly creates an imagedescription tag when editing exif data
Pix creates an imagedescription tag and a corrupt usercomment tag when creating a description
The jExifToolGUI repair tool correctly fixes this corrupt usercomment but changes the imagdescription to a description tag
This matters to me because I have code extracting imagedescription for all my images
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
1.Use Linux Mint Pix to create a description of an image
2. exiftool -imagedescription <image.JPG> reveals problem with usercomment
3. Use jExifToolGUI repair on the image
4.exiftool -imagedescription <image.JPG> shows nothing
5. exiftool -description <image.JPG> shows the description origninaly entered

I think this is not jExifToolGUI. I think it is exiftool itself writing to "default" tags instead of deprecated tags, in this case from exif:imagedescription to xmp-dc:description.
Can you please directly try with exiftool to repair the same image(s)
exiftool -all= -tagsfromfile @ -all:all -unsafe corrupt_exif.jpg
And then check again?

Further: If this is indeed the default functionality from exiftool, I can't really change it (right now).
What you can do in the exiftool commands tab for the selected images to do a:
exif:imagedescription<xmp-dc:description
This should rewrite the "new" tag also to the "old" tag.
And if that works, save it as a favorite for later use.
