- Short: Descriptor file for akJFIF and Photoshop JPEGs (2nd try)
- Author: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
- Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
- Type: util/dtype
-
- akJFIF.datatype's descriptor file does not recognize JFIF files
- written by Adobe Photoshop 4.0, since this program does write
- files, which don't have the "JFIF" marker (used for file recognition
- by pattern) at the same place as standard JFIF files.
-
- Instead they've placed the text "File written by Adobe Photoshop 4.0"
- in a comment chunk there.
-
- Solution is quite simple (I did not want to add program code to
- the descriptor file):
-
- Just put "JFIF" and "JFIF-Photoshop" descriptor (plus their .info)
- files to DEVS:Datatypes/
-
- (Maybe this should be fixed better sometime, but this way it works
- quite well - if anyone likes to tell Adobe to use a more
- standard-like file construction: feel free to do so...)
