Hi Marti and others, For my work I need to have means of accessing the tags of a profile. For most of the tags that I need there are specific cmsTake*() and cmsRead*() functions available for the various tags. I'm also trying to put a mechanism for accessing the tags' content into the Python bindings. So for this I'd like to be able to access *all* tags. During these efforts these issues arose:
* There seem to be tags in the list within the tutorial/API description that are not accessible through any of these specific functions. * It is quite simple to create and add *all* types of tags through the cmsAddTag() function. This function takes the profile handle , the tag signature, as well as a reference to the tag content. This last bit, the reference, is a void pointer. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a symmetrically equivalent function cmsReadTag() (or cmsTakeTag() for consistent naming), that returns a void pointer, and we could just cast it to whatever type we need? It would make retrieving the content of a profile *much* easier and more generalised. Guy -- Guy K.
