Changes for version 1.8

  • Fix to conditional that was using bitwise & instead of boolean &&. They evalutated to the same thing in this case, but it was still a bug. (Thanks Brian.)
  • Reduced strictness of looking for tag/record/dataset at start of IPTC info. The spec says the version dataset is supposed to be first, but not all apps obey this. IrfanView in particular doesn't.
  • Couple options on saving for nuking the Abode block and another for nuking *all* application data blocks. You can ditch about 10-15k worth of EXIF, FlashPix, etc. stuff without touching image data. (Feature requested by Scott at USA Today.)
