More Metadata

[Uncle Geo]

I'm wondering if there is a way to get more metadata values out of image files than what FM 13 can currently get.

 

I do know about Troi, but I'm hoping maybe there's another way (because I'm making run times), or that Filemaker might expand the set at some point. It would be great to get exposure, and other settings and maybe Timecode for video.

 

It's pretty darn nifty to get at the metadata! I'm pulling lat and long and made a button to pop up a Google map.

If you know (or are willing to learn) the technical details of the image file format you're using, you can use the Base64Encode function to get the complete set of raw data in the file and parse the metadata from that.

with ScriptMaster, so will work with runtime

 

 

of course you can only 'read' metadata that is actually there...

Thanks all! I have some homework to do but now that I know it's possible I'll figure it out.

 

I really appreciate the help!
