Xmp

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

• A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
• A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
• An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: True means success, False means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.

The number of XMP metadata documents found within the JPG or TIFF file loaded by LoadAppFile.

Determines whether structures are stored with rdf:parseType="Resource", or within an "rdf:Description" sub-node.

A property to be used for future uncommon needs. The default value is the empty string.

If set to True, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is False. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0"

Adds or replaces an XMP property array. The XMP metadata to be updated is contained in the XML object passed in the 1st argument. The 2nd argument specifies the array type, which can be "bag", "seq", or "alt". The property name should be prefixed with the namespace, such as "dc:subject".

Adds a namespace to URI mapping. When a property is added via AddSimpleString or any of the other methods, the property name is namespace qualified. When adding the first property in a namespace, the rdf:Description is automatically added and the URI is obtained from the namespace-to-URI mappings. The standard (and commonly used) namespace mappings are defined by default. This is only used if the namespace is custom or not already handled.

Adds or updates an XMP integer property. The XMP metadata to be updated is contained in the XML object passed in the 1st argument. The property name should be prefixed with the namespace, such as "tiff:XResolution".

Adds or updates a simple XMP string property. The XMP metadata to be updated is contained in the XML object passed in the 1st argument. The property name should be prefixed with the namespace, such as "photoshop:Credit".

Adds or updates an XMP structured property value. The XMP metadata to be updated is contained in the XML object passed in the 1st argument. The structure name should be prefixed with the namespace, such as "Iptc4xmpCore:CreatorContactInfo". The property name within the structure should also be prefixed with the namespace, such as "Iptc4xmpCore:CiAdrCity".

Appends a new XMP metadata file to the XMP object. Any XMPs appended via this method will be present in the file when SaveAppFile is called. Files containing XMP metadata typically only include a single XMP document, so this method is usually only called when adding XMP metadata to a file for the first time.

Finds and returns an XMP array property. The property name should be prefixed with the namespace, such as "dc:subject".

Returns None on failure

Returns the Nth embedded XMP document as a Chilkat XML object.

Returns None on failure

To be documented soon...

Returns None on failure

Finds and returns an XMP integer property. The property name should be prefixed with the namespace, such as "tiff:ResolutionUnit".

Finds and returns an XMP simple string property. The property name should be prefixed with the namespace, such as "photoshop:Source".

Returns None on failure

Returns the property names used by an exsting structure within an XMP document. The contents of the structure can be retrieved by calling GetStructValue for each property name returned by GetStructPropNames.

Returns None on failure

Returns the value of a single item within an XMP structure property. Property names should always be prefixed with the namespace.

Returns None on failure

Loads a TIFF or JPG file into the XMP object.

Loads a JPG or TIFF from an byte buffer containing the image file data.

Creates and returns a new/empty XMP metadata document as a Chilkat XML object.

Returns None on failure

Removes all XMP metadata documents from an XMP object. After calling this method, call SaveAppFile to rewrite the JPG or TIFF file with the XMP metadata removed.

Returns True for success, False for failure.

Removes an XMP array property from the XMP document.

Removes a single XMP metadata document from the JPG or TIFF file. Call SaveAppFile to persist the changes to disk.

Returns True for success, False for failure.

Removes a namespace-to-URI mapping.

Removes a simple XMP property from the XMP document.

Removes an XMP structure property from the XMP document.

Removes a single member from an XMP structured property.

Persists all changes made to the XMP document(s) by saving the XMP object to a file. Changes made by adding, updating, or removing properties are not persisted to the filesystem until this is called.

Saves a JPG or TIFF image with updated XMP to a byte buffer.

Returns None on failure
