Parameter Description Example

Description

Queries all attributes as JSON.
Only attributes created before are visible, so e.g. EXIF data may not yet be loaded and parsed.
e.g. for a PNG this may include the original color type and the bit depth:
{
"png:IHDR.color-type-orig":"4",
"png:IHDR.bit-depth-orig":"16"
}

For macOS and iOS, also see CGImageSource functions to read metadata like EXIF and IPTC. And also check MetaDataQuery.AttributesForFile function to get generic metadata.

Examples

Show attributes:

Set Variable [ $ImageRef ; Value: MBS("GMImage.NewFromFile"; "/Users/cs/Desktop/image2.png") ]
Show Custom Dialog [ "Attributes" ; MBS( "GMImage.GetAttributesJSON"; $ImageRef ) ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS("GMImage.Release"; $ImageRef) ]
