- * Is there a way to increase the speed of the directory access
- routines without modifying libtiff?
-
- No.
-
- * Are there other features of libtiff that we can use instead of
- directories?
-
- Not sure what this means, but probably no.
-
- * Do you have any other suggestions?
-
- Construct a private tag that has a table of contents of all the images
- in each file and use that to locate each IFD. I believe the latest
- code on sgi.com includes a call to let you set the current directory
- given a file offset; this was added for the SubIFD support.
