Yes I have seen that.

The type of an entry in the IFD is part of the IFD entry.
Problematic is for 'unoffical' Tags to understand the meaning of tag values. There is e.g. no type for "file offset". But understanding the meaning of Tags is something fully different than enumerating them.

I have seen this. But this works only for the limited number of tags supported by libtiff. I'm not interested in the value, just which Tags are in the IFD.

If I would have information regarding the version of libtiff used by Envision I would possibly be able to do it on my own.
