[Digikam-devel] tiff image: what does this mean?

[Pierre Hanser]

responding to myself, after a few googling

a stripped tiff imaged is a tiff image divided in stripes...

(not exactly the same meaning than in 'a stripped executable': a file
without debug symbols)

now the real question: why doesn't digikam support non-stripped images?
