We made an attempt to add the GIMP 'parasite' metadata-handling code to the Film Gimp API, but as I recall we gave up on it as too hard. A film studio in London hacked the DPX Film Gimp plug-in to pass metadata (the frame #) via the image window title bar, but I never got the code from them although I tried. The img_img API supports metadata but is still evolving. Robin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
