Hi Guy,
I have addressed all your requests in lcms 2.0. That will be the next relea se. You have cmsReadTag() and cmsWriteTag(), which are symmetrical and behaves exactly as you describe. You have also cmsReadRawTag() and cmsWriteRawTag() to read/write uncooked blocks of data. You have also cmsLinkTag() to write tag entries that points to already existing tags, and finally you have tag and tag type plug-ins for creating your own proprietary tags. Hope that would fullfill all your requeriments. Best regards Marti Quoting "Guy K. Kloss" <g.kl...@massey.ac.nz>: > Hi Marti and others, > > For my work I need to have means of accessing the tags of a profile.
