I agree with Joris. I think the extension should remain unchanged. The next version of my application will at a minimum recognize BigTIFF and display a suitable message saying it's not supported yet. If BigTIFF is agreed upon and a stable LibTIFF exists that supports it before the end of this calendar year, then there is a good chance that the next version of my app will support reading them (at a minimum) -- assuming they're not too big :-) (I still have to live within the cramped confines of a 32 bit address space -- for now.). By the end of 2005, or sometime early in 2006 I hope to have full 64 bit support, and full reading and writing support for BigTIFF. (P.S. While I have not talked to the lawyers I'm sure they would want me to say that I'm not making any promises or commitments on behalf of Alias. Plans can change. :-) -- Regards, Ian Ameline, Software Architect, Alias SketchBook Technical Lead. -- Always do the right thing. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. -- Mark Twain.
