gflBitmapRemoveMetadata()-alike function with filename param

Hi,

I have a feature request: a function like gflBitmapRemoveMetadata() but which operates with a filename. So that the file does not need to be loaded - the function would automatically modify the existing file by removing all metadata (iptc, exif, icc, comment).

Is this possible at all? My basic problem is to strip all metadata from JPEGs without having to re-compress them. The picture data should stay untouched, but all the metadata needs to be removed.

Thx :)

Great. Does it come with GFL SDK 3.30? And when?

Take your time. :)

How difficult would it be to do the same for gflJPEGSetComment()? (Giving a filename instead of an open Bitmap)
This would be the same aim: modify a JPEG by setting its comment line without having to re-compress the picture data.

Having those two functions would be marvellous! (including unicode support for the filename).

Does the new version will be compatible with the format MPO?
