Add the ability to generate Metadata for existing image files such as TIFF or JPEG. For example, I have a directory of tiffs, and I want to go ahead and generate Application specific Header files such as tabs, tfw’s and ERS. At the moment we are having to go back and use global mapper to generate these files.
This is also Important to not re-write the image itself as if the format is lossy compressed, each re-write degrades the image.
This would be extremely helpful for us as well as we need to make a lot of these files and our current process is to use two different programs (ArcMap and ER Mapper).
+24Would be nice if this worked similar to the "Schema" concept. Ie when you read a raster-file you can choose only to read the necessary information needed to write a Metadata-sidecar file and skip the geometry/raster.
So add a normal JPG-reader - choose "Metadata only" - and you have 1 feature with no geometry and all information about bounding box, resolution, channels etc that you need. So when you add a TIF-writer you can select "Write Metadata only" and this will write *.tfw + other withouth the actual *.tif.
