If you think this will benefit others in the future, then add this small 
feature. But if not, don't take the time (yet); I think I'll skip the EXR file 
version when extracting the EXR properties/metadata -- at least for now, 
because I'm tied on OIIO RB 2.1 for the moment.

I'll send an email on Monday asking more important aspects regarding EXR 
processing.
Thank you for your quick responses!

If you want to know the file format version... there is currently not a way to 
retrieve that, but I can certainly add it! It's really easy, I will do it for 
you today.

But if you want to know which specific version of the library wrote the file, I 
think there is no reliable way to tell. The file format version only changes 
infrequently when there are real compatibility breaks, and also we rig the 
library so that even newer software will write the old format if you don't 
happen to be using any features that strictly require the new format.

Do you want to know what version of OpenEXR is linked with the running OIIO app?

Or do you want to know what version wrote a particular exr file?

Or do you want to know what version is capable of reading a particular file 
(e.g., an exr written by 2.x, but that doesn't happen to use deep or multi-part 
features, can be read just fine by 1.x)?

Hello,

I quick question to you all, because I don't seem to figure this out:
    Is there a way to determine an EXR file version (v1, v2 or v3 in the 
future) with OIIO?

Thank you,

Radu Arjocu
