Comments

LFile::WriteMetaData can be used to update an existing file with comments, tags and/or markers.

Before calling this function, the user should set:

When you add or remove comments or tags, the comments and tags array at the end of the TIFF/Exif image file is re-written. When you modify existing comments or tags, the new value is added to the file and the IFD is modified as necessary. In all of these cases, there is no image recompression.

Some restrictions apply to this function if you use an IFD to indicate to which page to write the metadata. For more information, refer to Loading and Saving Large TIFF/BigTIFF Files.
