I'll try and go into more detail about the workflow of the tool. Its a GUI
tool that allows   users to modify and rename sets of images.

One use case is as such:

   - User loads in image.exr
   - A table is populated with the metadata of the image
   - User renames the file to image01.exr
   - User writes out image01.exr.

This is made more complicated if the user changes the file type. Ideally
what I would like to happen is:

   - User loads in image.exr
   - A table is populated with the metadata of the image
   - User renames the file to image.dpx
   - Metadata table changes to include dpx metadata and removes exr metadata
   - User can change dpx metadata fields
   - User writes out image.dpx

However I am having trouble identifying what metadata a DPX would have
before I was to write it out.

Thanks
-Sean
