It will certainly be able to retain pics and folders, but we will need to assemble an upgrade script to convert page/image titles/text. We are moving towards an entirely new platform for the future, so some compromises will be made. You will not be able to retain "settings", because it will be a brand new unique system ...

Comments I don't know ... It is currently part of a 3rd party system "Imagevue Powerpack". Comments in next Imagevue will likely be a native option, but the best option is to add 3rd party
Disqus support. Also configuration data? As mentioned above, it will be a completely new system so you cant run anything remotely similar to the same themes as today. Prepare to re-configure, although I hope this will be bliss to do with upcoming version.
Please don't start asking "when?" yet ... We haven't yet announced this anywhere, although I have mentioned I would show an early frontend prototype demo soon. It will take some time to get to a release candidate ...
