DNG Validate

DNG validate is a helper plugin that validates DNG files using Adobe's unofficial dng_validate, and writes the result to an information field.

The plugin provides both a system task for initializing existing DNGs, as well as listeners for new DNGs (and new version). Note that to validate these DNGs, the asset is downloaded to the appserver and evaluated locally.

The information field can then be used in other plugins, e.g. the AssetMarker to flag invalid assets.
