PeterPanino	Posted - Apr 12 2016 : 10:34:55 Hello! In MetadataTouch (http://www.digitalconfidence.com/MetadataTouch.html), a professional Metadata editor, I have saved some XMP metadata fields in a .JPG file: However, when trying to show these XMP metadata with ImageEn XMP_WriteToStrings, nothing is returned: IEV.IO.Params.XMP_WriteToStrings(sl); CodeSite.Send('XMP Data', sl); Why not? I have attached the file with the XMP metadata: attach/PeterPanino/2016412104048_audio.zip 16.74 KB ImageEnVersion is: 6.2.1 Even Exif Pilot shows the XMP tags in the attached JPG file.

xequte	Posted - May 12 2016 : 00:36:13 Naturally IEV.IO.Params.XMP_HasXMPData returns true, because if you examine IEV.IO.Params.XMP_Info you will see that it contains XMP data. Also, it works correctly if you use the internal methods for retrieval: ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).GetString( sProp2 ); You can see this in the XMP demo: http://www.imageen.com/ieforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1446&whichpage=3 However there is a weird issue with XMP_WriteToStrings() - some weird widestring issue, which we are investigating.

PeterPanino	Posted - May 11 2016 : 01:39:30 This function gives back False although it contains all the XMP properties depicted in the screenshot sent to you by email: CodeSite.Send('Has any XMP Fields', IEV.IO.Params.XMP_WriteToStrings(sl)); In the ImageEn CHM manual, one of the common XMP fields is: XMP_DC_Title. (Which obviously translates to XMP Dublin Core Title). You can see from the screenshot sent to you by email that this XMP property IS defined in the JPG file sent to you by email. However it is not read when using XMP_WriteToStrings. So we can see that the function XMP_WriteToStrings does not read the common XMP fields as described in the CHM manual. Even the XMP_AsStr function does not output anything although these XMP properties are contained in the JPG file sent to you: CodeSite.Send('XMP_DC_Description', IEV.IO.Params.XMP_AsStr[ XMP_DC_Description ]); CodeSite.Send('XMP_DC_Title', IEV.IO.Params.XMP_AsStr[ XMP_DC_Title ]); So could you please provide a sample JPG file which demonstrates that this works? Even more strangely, IEV.IO.Params.XMP_HasXMPData gives back TRUE for this file! I would really like to make this work.
xequte	Posted - May 10 2016 : 00:38:15 Sorry, I see you are using the helper function, XMP_WriteToStrings(). Please note that it only outputs a known set of standard XMP tags. If you want to output all tags, you need to parse the XML in IO.Params.XMP_Info. Or via the dictionary, e.g. memo1.Text := imgview1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary( 'XMP' ).Dump( ieplJSON ); http://www.imageen.com/help/TIOParams.Dict.html Nigel Xequte Software www.xequte.com nigel@xequte.com

PeterPanino	Posted - May 03 2016 : 02:39:17 Is there already a new update available for Delphi 10.1 Berlin where this bug is fixed?
xequte	Posted - Apr 26 2016 : 19:00:35 Hi This will be addresses in the next update. Regarding the PSD, if you execute: imageenview1.io.loadfromfile('aboutus.psd'); ShowMessage(imageenview1.io.params.XMP_Info); ShowMessage(ImageEnView1.IO.Params.Dict.GetDictionary('XMP').Dump(ieplJSON) ); You see that the file actually contains XMP data and is parsed, but no useful XML tags are present...

xequte	Posted - Apr 12 2016 : 23:33:54 Thanks, we'll let you know once we investigate. Nigel Xequte Software www.xequte.com nigel@xequte.com
PeterPanino	Posted - Apr 12 2016 : 19:28:35 Here is a screenshot from Exif Pilot of a .PSD image with XMP metadata which should be recognized by ImageEn: Here is the file (aboutus.PSD) containing these XMP metadata: attach/PeterPanino/2016412192513_aboutus.zip 1321.57 KB
xequte	Posted - Apr 12 2016 : 16:16:09 Hi Peter I can reproduce the issue (due to the nature of the XMP implementation in this file). We are investigating... Nigel Xequte Software www.xequte.com nigel@xequte.com
