I can't see any downsides to that, anyway. Might be nice to stop leaving files open indiscriminately, but this stopgap measure appears like an easy copout at the moment.
As stopgaps go, this is a pretty decent solution, I think. In general, simply closing the image files after the information discovery and then reopening them for inclusion won't do, as the file may be messed up externally in the time between those two events. On almost all systems, keeping an open file handle protects you against exactly that. Best wishes, Taco
