---------------------------------
Summary: Allow editing GIF metadata without re-encoding
Key: IMAGING-336
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAGING-336
Project: Commons Imaging
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Format: GIF
Reporter: Henry Qin
Today, if we try to remove or change metadata in GIF images and then convert
the GIF back into a bytes, it causes a re-encoding of the entire GIF, which can
increase its file size.
I think it would helpful if there was a way to edit or remove metadata on a GIF
without reencoding the other blocks. This should guarantee that GIFs cannot
grow after removing metadata.
If the maintainers of this project feel like this is a worthwhile improvement
and are willing to do a new minor release when it's done, I'm interested in
helping to bring this functionality into the library.
