How to know if IPTC can be saved?

[kurka666]

Hi

Is it possible to know if a file type supports saving of IPTC without trying first and then checking the error response?

The gflFormatIsWritableByName/Index may return Yes even if metadata can not be saved (for example for .BMP)

Thanks

No, i must add a fuction for that. Currently you have only JPEG...

ok - that's what I thought. For now, I'll just hard code a check for JPG or others.

Thanks!
