What would you do when camera makers decided to store a cryptographic hash or even a signature created over the image and other metadata? You'd invalidate the whole image.
I'm not saying they do, but one day they might. Would be a nice feature to certify to some extent how the image was taken. If you want to bet your images on the belief that some spare time programmers can always keep up with each and every turn multi-million-dollar companies do on their undocumented, proprietary formats, be my guest. And bring popcorn. I see no benefit that would outweigh the risk. -- Dr. Stefan Klinger -- Informatiker, Mathematiker o/X https://stefan-klinger.de /\/ I prefer receiving plain text messages, not exceeding 32kB. \ ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
