Question

IPTC reading and writing

Does coldFusion really provide no way to write out IPTC data to image files? (that seems really short sighted)

I've got an application that read IPTC tags fine using the built in CFIMAGE functions for reading the meta data.

After an update on the designers Mac, Bridge no longer is writing the data to the images.

(thanks adobe. thats real helpful)

I'm able to use a NON adobe product to write the IPTC tags just fine, which coldFusion can read just fine.

Is there a way to write/edit IPTC tags via coldFusion without having to purchase an aftermarket "image tag"?

It seems like even a retarded monkey would have written functions to READ and WRITE iptc tags.

Adobe .. please stop failing on basic functionality like this.

Wow, what a douchey post.

>> Does coldFusion really provide no way to write out IPTC data to image files? (that seems really short sighted)

Does it?  Does PHP (ok, maybe PHP does do that. But I stand by the rest of what I said.) build in this functionality?  Python?  Ruby?  Java? Geez, the world is filled with short-sighted idiots, isn't it?

Most developers, when a platform doesn;t have what they are looking for will seek solutions in available libraries and open source projects. Some developers will write the functionality themselve. And, I guess, some will throw a bitch fit and call other developers anmes and act like a petulant child.

I bet there is a simple Java lib out there that will do exactly what you want. And in the meantime a politely worded request to Adobe to add the functionality is future versions would probably go a lot further than this little display of dumbassitude.

>> It seems like even a retarded monkey would have written functions to READ and WRITE iptc tags.

You're right. The outcry for this functioanlity has been tremendous. The message boards have been FLOODED with requests for this for almost 10 minutes. Additionally, I cannot believe that ColdFusion has no funcitonality for folding my laundry either.

nizlet... please stop failing at being a decent human being with any common courtesy.

It would be sweet if CF folded my laundry agreed.

Okay .. so I'm a douchey petulant child. My fail is evident.

You're clearly better than me, so perhaps you can point to a library or post on how to write IPTC tags via coldFusion?

It just seemed odd that Adobe would include a function for reading data, without also providing a function for writing data.

You want me to write the code for you too?
