The plan is to come up with some mechanism to store information (like EXIF) in and convert that information between several different file formats, including JPEG and TIFF (Sven et aliud). The current state is that there has been a patch to preserve and edit EXIF information in JPEGs using libexif. This patch never got into the GIMP nor was updated to 1.3.x as (1) it would add another dependency to an external library (2) it would not reach the goal as stated in above plan. > And, libexif is JPEG-centric.

So, I don't have any incentives to add support for TIFFs to libexif. But I will happily integrate patches that are sent to me. -- Lutz Müller <lutz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
