Hi,
With the instruction "printing to pdf" you can add tags in the PDF that you are creating.
You can do the same thing with the PNG format?
There are dozens of tags for the standard PNG look here http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exi ... s/PNG.html

Hi Paolo,

Since ExifTool is a command line utility, you can call this utility using LiveCode's shell() function and tell it to add exif data to a PNG file.

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,
Thank you for the hint,
exifTool could be a temporary solution.
But the ultimate solution would be an internal function :-)

Regards,
Paolo
