[Openexr-devel] Unable to save 64-bit long attributes

[Richard Hadsell]

I want to store long int attributes in an EXR file, but the value I get when 
reading it back is always 5.  The string, int, and double attributes that are 
part of the library seem fine.

I'm using openexr 2.0.0 on a Linux Fedora 14 OS.  Here's the way I defined the 
attribute:

namespace Imf_2_0 {
        typedef TypedAttribute<long> LongAttribute;
        template <> const char *LongAttribute::staticTypeName ();
}
template <>
const char * Imf_2_0::LongAttribute::staticTypeName ()
{
    return "long";
}

In a debugger I can see that the attribute has the correct value, when I insert it into the header for output.  When reading it from the file, the named attribute gets the right typeName.  It just has the wrong value, and all of the LongAttributes have the 
same value.

Is this a known bug?
