That get's me up to speed on this area, but since I don't know C++. Getting from where Rev is today to Revolution with a cross platform IPTC DataSet plug-in doesn't appear very doable.
I guess for now I will have to go with the stack model where images carry associated data as custom props.
If anyone ever did generate this funcationality within Rev, an entire (hard to assess how big, but if only photoShop and BreezeSys are doing it now, then it's any body's game) market within the publishing, newspaper, media industry could open up for developers to provide needed apps...
But for now I'll have to stay with xTalk. I have posted this to the Improve list, as an obscure wish for the future feature list, just in case, unbeknownst to us, since to core engine already has JPEG export built in, poking the IPTC data might not be such a big deal to add on to the core engine. I can't imagine that it is anything more than some kind of header or trailer.... in a specific pre-defined format.
Thanks
