Hi Charles,
Have you found any time to work on IPTC writing?

Hi Christopher,
There's nothing really blocking my work on IPTC - just finding the
time. Thanks though.
The documentation could use a lot of work. The things I was
planing on doing myself are:
- Exact list of what features, spec versions, modes, etc. are
supported for each file format.
- Comparison with other Java image libraries and description of why
and when to use Sanselan.
- More sample code.
- Elaborating the FAQ.

Ok cool. I have other work I can do on my project. I've got my code
pushing down to Sanselan to pull the IImageMetadata out of a rich
byte[] and
I'm using the ExifRewriter to place the metadata into a naked byte[]
produced from JAI. Once your IPTC writing code is done it should
fall into
place. :)
Is there anything I can do to take some work off your plate? That
would
give you more time to focus on IPTC writing which would of course
help me.
:)
I was thinking about cleaning up the docs/website a bit. There are
a bunch
of broken links and whatnot...

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for your interest in the project.
Writing (ie. removing, inserting and updating) IPTC to existing
JPGs is under active development (by me). I expect it to be checked
in within the next 3 months at the very latest.
The project doesn't have any formal established development
priorities. I'm personally working on IPTC support, as well as more
granular control over reading and writing images, elaborating the
unit
test suite, improving the documentation, etc.
Thanks for getting involved.

I just incorporated sanselan into my application and it works
great for
enriching images with metadata from another file. It's perfect for
situations where you have to resize an image but wish to preserve
as much
of
the metadata as possible. The one thing that's lacking is IPTC
writing.
Sanselan is able to read the IPTC metadata but it can't write it
back
out...
I was just wondering ... is "writing IPTC" a priority for
anyone? If
not,
what are the other priorities? I'm trying to figure out how long
I'll
possibly have to wait for this feature and if it would be worth
buying
into
a commercial project if I really need this feature for my
application.
Thanks for the great work on Sanselan so far... I plan on
contributing
to
the documentation and what-not as much as I can.
