I’m trying to add custom data to a .tga file. This doesn’t need to be standard EXIF information – this is custom data that I would read with a custom tool. Currently all I’m trying to add is a file path.
Usually, I would just add this using File Info, but with Targa files, information I add using File Info is not saved to the file (which is a bug in my opinion – I’ll go look for a place to report that after I post this).
I haven’t messed with the Advanced section of File Info much. The only thing I know how to do with that is to create .XMP sidecar files. Maybe I’m missing something there.
As far as I can tell, the Targa file format supports a 256-byte "Image Identification Field" as well as unlimited user data at the end of the file, so it should be possible to add any data I want to a Targa with the right tool.
Does anyone know a plugin or technique that will allow me to add metadata to my targas?
