Re: Status of XMP Support

["Bengt Thuree" <bengt thuree com>]

Hi

So far only EXIF reading and writing have been implemented.
Nothing for XMP nor IPTC.

They are waiting a bit for what Beagle will handle, but Larry knows more
of this. The plans are for XMP support though. Hopefully Larry can reply
and put some more flesh on this issue.

I would love to have XMP read/write support as soon as possible though :)
