[Ids-devel] What's an IPTC? And IDS status?

[Ajay <li...@he...>]

Hey guys!

	First a quick question (Sorry I'm too busy/distracted to try to
figure it out):
How hard would it be to get IDS to display the EXIF Comment in an image?  I
assume that's easy, so here's the possibly harder question.

What's the IPTC?  It sounds like it's separate from the EXIF, how hard would
it be to add support for that to IDS?

As far as Nick's post goes, I'd love to see a new release of IDS.  Who are
the maintainer(s) of the source, has s/he been too busy, or just stopped
work, and maybe somebody else can take it over?

There are many people that have made a lot of great patches to the source on
their own sites, it'd be a pity if that all went to waste, imho!

	Would it be much harder to track your changes?  Maybe we could get
ids into a cvs, that might aid dev...

looking forward to a response, thanks for everything guys!!  GREAT
SOFTWARE!!  "I'm lovin it.." :)  I just imported all my 2005 pictures,
renamed and all (jhead's a great tool!).  ta!

	-Ajay
