Description

In some scenarios, it could be interesting to load the MetaData information of an image, without loading the bitmap data.

The advantage is to be able to load the metadata of thousands of images much faster, and with less memory consumption.

The implementation would be done in the image decoders, with a LoadMetadata method or something like that.

As a bonus, it could be great to be able to modify the metadata of an image file, without modifying the actual compressed image.
