Losing Covers

Hi,
sometimes covers get lost when opening and saving song files with taglib.
I was able to fix one cause:
I have AAC files that were produced with "Max" ( http://cycling74.com/ ). These AAC files have a 'covr' atom, but the format type is set to 0 (TypeImplicit). taglib only accepts TypeJPEG, TypePNG etc. but not TypeImplicit.
If I change the following line in mp4tag.cpp:
if(flags == TypeJPEG || flags == TypePNG || flags == TypeBMP || flags == TypeGIF) {
to
if(flags == TypeJPEG || flags == TypePNG || flags == TypeBMP || flags == TypeGIF || flags == TypeImplicit) {
then taglib accepts and preserves these covr Atoms and the cover does not get lost.
Any chance to get this patched into the official taglib sources?
Regards,
Mani
