removeProperties
public static void removeProperties(XMPMeta xmp, java.lang.String schemaNS, java.lang.String propName, boolean doAllProperties, boolean includeAliases) throws XMPException
Remove multiple properties from an XMP object. RemoveProperties was created to support the File Info dialog's Delete button, and has been been generalized somewhat from those specific needs. It operates in one of three main modes depending on the schemaNS and propName parameters:- Non-empty
schemaNS
andpropName
- The named property is removed if it is an external property, or if the flagdoAllProperties
option is true. It does not matter whether the named property is an actual property or an alias. - Non-empty
schemaNS
and emptypropName
- The all external properties in the named schema are removed. Internal properties are also removed if the flagdoAllProperties
option is set. In addition, aliases from the named schema will be removed if the flagincludeAliases
option is set. - Empty
schemaNS
and emptypropName
- All external properties in all schema are removed. Internal properties are also removed if the flagdoAllProperties
option is passed. Aliases are implicitly handled because the associated actuals are internal if the alias is.
schemaNS
and non-emptypropName
.- Parameters:
xmp
- The XMP object containing the properties to be removed.schemaNS
- Optional schema namespace URI for the properties to be removed.propName
- Optional path expression for the property to be removed.doAllProperties
- Option flag to control the deletion: do internal properties in addition to external properties.includeAliases
- Option flag to control the deletion: Include aliases in the "named schema" case above. Note: Currently not supported.- Throws:
XMPException
- Forwards the Exceptions from the metadata processing
- Non-empty
-
appendProperties
public static void appendProperties(XMPMeta source, XMPMeta dest, boolean doAllProperties, boolean replaceOldValues) throws XMPException
Alias without the new optiondeleteEmptyValues
.- Parameters:
source
- The source XMP object.dest
- The destination XMP object.doAllProperties
- Do internal properties in addition to external properties.replaceOldValues
- Replace the values of existing properties.- Throws:
XMPException
- Forwards the Exceptions from the metadata processing
-
appendProperties
public static void appendProperties(XMPMeta source, XMPMeta dest, boolean doAllProperties, boolean replaceOldValues, boolean deleteEmptyValues) throws XMPException
Append properties from one XMP object to another.
XMPUtils#appendProperties was created to support the File Info dialog's Append button, and has been been generalized somewhat from those specific needs. It appends information from one XMP object (source) to another (dest). The default operation is to append only external properties that do not already exist in the destination. The flag
doAllProperties
can be used to operate on all properties, external and internal. The flagreplaceOldValues
option can be used to replace the values of existing properties. The notion of external versus internal applies only to top level properties. The keep-or-replace-old notion applies within structs and arrays as described below.- If
replaceOldValues
is true then the processing is restricted to the top level properties. The processed properties from the source (according todoAllProperties
) are propagated to the destination, replacing any existing values.Properties in the destination that are not in the source are left alone. - If
replaceOldValues
is not passed then the processing is more complicated. Top level properties are added to the destination if they do not already exist. If they do exist but differ in form (simple/struct/array) then the destination is left alone. If the forms match, simple properties are left unchanged while structs and arrays are merged. - If
deleteEmptyValues
is passed then an empty value in the source XMP causes the corresponding destination XMP property to be deleted. The default is to treat empty values the same as non-empty values. An empty value is any of a simple empty string, an array with no items, or a struct with no fields. Qualifiers are ignored.
The detailed behavior is defined by the following pseudo-code:
appendProperties ( sourceXMP, destXMP, doAllProperties, replaceOldValues, deleteEmptyValues ): for all source schema (top level namespaces): for all top level properties in sourceSchema: if doAllProperties or prop is external: appendSubtree ( sourceNode, destSchema, replaceOldValues, deleteEmptyValues ) appendSubtree ( sourceNode, destParent, replaceOldValues, deleteEmptyValues ): if deleteEmptyValues and source value is empty: delete the corresponding child from destParent else if sourceNode not in destParent (by name): copy sourceNode's subtree to destParent else if replaceOld: delete subtree from destParent copy sourceNode's subtree to destParent else: // Already exists in dest and not replacing, merge structs and arrays if sourceNode and destNode forms differ: return, leave the destNode alone else if form is a struct: for each field in sourceNode: AppendSubtree ( sourceNode.field, destNode, replaceOldValues ) else if form is an alt-text array: copy new items by "xml:lang" value into the destination else if form is an array: copy new items by value into the destination, ignoring order and duplicates
Note: appendProperties can be expensive if replaceOldValues is not passed and the XMP contains large arrays. The array item checking described above is n-squared. Each source item is checked to see if it already exists in the destination, without regard to order or duplicates.
Simple items are compared by value and "xml:lang" qualifier, other qualifiers are ignored. Structs are recursively compared by field names, without regard to field order. Arrays are compared by recursively comparing all items.
- Parameters:
source
- The source XMP object.dest
- The destination XMP object.doAllProperties
- Do internal properties in addition to external properties.replaceOldValues
- Replace the values of existing properties.deleteEmptyValues

XMPException
- Forwards the Exceptions from the metadata processing

- A string builder object in which to return the serialized extended XMP, empty if not needed.digestStr
- A string builder object in which to return an MD5 digest of the serialized extended XMP, empty if not needed.- Throws:
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException
- if fail to find algorithm for MD5XMPException
- in case of internal error occurs.
-
mergeFromJPEG
public static void mergeFromJPEG(XMPMeta fullXMP, XMPMeta extendedXMP) throws XMPException
merges standard and extended XMP retrieved from a JPEG file. When an extended partition stores properties that do not fit into the JPEG file limitation of 64K bytes, this function integrates those properties back into the same XMP object with those from the standard XMP packet.- Parameters:
fullXMP
- An XMP object which the caller has initialized from the standard XMP packet in a JPEG file. The extended XMP is added to this object.extendedXMP
- An XMP object which the caller has initialized from the extended XMP packet in a JPEG file.- Throws:
XMPException
- in case of internal error occurs.
-
applyTemplate
public static void applyTemplate(XMPMeta workingXMP, XMPMeta templateXMP, TemplateOptions options) throws XMPException
modifies a working XMP object according to a template object.The XMP template can be used to add, replace or delete properties from the working XMP object. The actions that you specify determine how the template is applied. Each action can be applied individually or combined; if you do not specify any actions, the properties and values in the working XMP object do not change.
These actions are available:
- Clear
CLEAR_UNNAMED_PROPERTIES
: Deletes top-level properties. Any top-level property that is present in the template (even with empty value) is retained. All other top-level properties in the working object are deleted - Add
ADD_NEW_PROPERTIES
: Adds new properties to the working object if the template properties have values. See additional detail below. - Replace
REPLACE_EXISTING_PROPERTIES
: Replaces the values of existing top-level properties in the working XMP if the value forms match those in the template. Properties with empty values in the template are ignored. If combined with Clear or Add actions, those take precedence; values are cleared or added, rather than replaced. - Replace/Delete empty
REPLACE_WITH_DELETE_EMPTY
: Replaces values in the same way as the simple Replace action, and also deletes properties if the value in the template is empty. If combined with Clear or Add actions, those take precedence; values are cleared or added, rather than replaced. - Include internal
INCLUDE_INTERNAL_PROPERTIES
: Performs specified action on internal properties as well as external properties. By default, internal properties are ignored for all actions.
The Add behavior depends on the type of property:
- If a top-level property is not in the working XMP, and has a value in the template, the property and value are added. Empty properties are not added.
- If a property is in both the working XMP and template, the value forms must match, otherwise the template is ignored for that property.
- If a struct is present in both the working XMP and template, the individual fields of the template struct are added as appropriate; that is, the logic is recursively applied to the fields. Struct values are equivalent if they have the same fields with equivalent values.
- If an array is present in both the working XMP and template, items from the template are added if the value forms match. Array values match if they have sets of equivalent items, regardless of order.
- Alt-text arrays use the \c xml:lang qualifier as a key, adding languages that are missing.
Array item checking is n-squared; this can be time-intensive if the Replace option is not specified. Each source item is checked to see if it already exists in the destination, without regard to order or duplicates. Simple items are compared by value and
xml:lang
qualifier; other qualifiers are ignored. Structs are recursively compared by field names, without regard to field order. Arrays are compared by recursively comparing all items.- Parameters:
workingXMP
- The destination XMP object.templateXMP
- The template to apply to the destination XMP object.options
- Option flags to control the copying. If none are specified, the properties and values in the working XMP do not change. A logical OR of these bit-flag constants:CLEAR_UNNAMED_PROPERTIES
Delete anything that is not in the templateADD_NEW_PROPERTIES
Add properties; see detailed description.REPLACE_EXISTING_PROPERTIES
Replace the values of existing properties.REPLACE_WITH_DELETE_EMPTY
Replace the values of existing properties and delete properties if the new value is empty.INCLUDE_INTERNAL_PROPERTIES
Operate on internal properties as well as external properties.
- Throws:
XMPException
- in case of internal error occurs.
- Clear
