even worse there seems to be some overlap wrt magic bytes at the beginning of the files, falsely identifying themselves as tiff (and later on diverging). we have exception rules for other raw files in the magic detection already, maybe that's what this camera needs, too. any other changes to the way tif are handled will probably break just about everything. tif is a minefield and beyond fixing. hope people will stop using it :( j. > > Regards, > Pascal de Bruijn > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Symantec Endpoint Protection 12 positioned as A LEADER in The Forrester > Wave(TM): Endpoint Security, Q1 2013 and "remains a good choice" in the > endpoint security space.
