I wonder if others have attempted to write two directories (IFDs) using TIFFCheckpointDirectory. Anyone got pointers to code that does this? Am I using TIFFSetDirectory properly?
My current hypothesis: TIFFCheckpointDirectory works fine if you're writing only one directory, but it's buggy when there are multiple directories.
I expect that you are right that multiple directories does not work and it was not anticipated. Libtiff provides source code so a well-tested patch which gets it to work as you like is useful and appreciated. Of course the patch should not break other functionality.
