Class TImageItem

load this image's recipe; returns True if a recipe is found

apply a recipe to the current bitmap as loaded in the Graphics property.

load and apply a recipe from the XMP of the specified image and apply it to the current bitmap as loaded in the Graphics property. The functions returns true when a recipe is found and applied

Remove the Exif cache for this image so we are sure we work with most recent data

recreate the Graphic object, of a type based on a the filename passed; e.g. AImg.NewGraphic ('*.jpg') will create a JPG graphic object

find all the existing sidecar files for this image item

Provides a safe way of moving the file as set in the FileName property to a new location. All existing sidecar files will be moved with the original.

It uses OS Leveled routines and will send notifications to the operating system which will broadcast them to other applications.

This function returns True for succes and False for failure

e.g. AItem.MoveFile ('c:\test.jpg', True) This will move the file as set in the FileName property to c:\test.jpg and it will not show OS-dialog that indicates the moving of the file

Provides a safe way of copying the file as set in the FileName property to a new file name. All existing sidecar files will be copied with the original.

It uses OS Leveled routines and will optionally send notifications to the operating system which will broadcast them to other applications.

This function returns True for succes and False for failure

e.g. AItem.CopyFile ('c:\test.jpg', True, False) This will copy the file (and sidecar files) as set in the FileName property to c:\test.jpg and it will not show OS-dialog that indicates the copy of the file and it will not send out notifications

Provides a safe way of renaming the file as set in the FileName property to a new name. All existing sidecar files will be renamed with the original.

It uses OS Leveled routines and will send notifications to the operating system which will broadcast them to other applications.

This function returns True for succes and False for failure

e.g. AItem.RenameFile ('c:\test.jpg', True) This will rename the file as set in the FileName property to c:\test.jpg

Provides a safe way of deleting the file as set in the FileName property to a new name. All existing sidecar files will be deleted with the original.

It uses OS Leveled routines and will send notifications to the operating system which will broadcast them to other applications.

This function returns True for succes and False for failure

e.g. AItem.DeleteFile ('c:\test.jpg', True, True) This will delete the file as set in the FileName property and ask for confirmation. The deleted file will be placed in the Windows Trashbin

Provides a safe way of changing the read-only attribute of the file as set in the FileName property. All read-only attributes for existing sidecar files will be changed with the original.

It uses OS Leveled routines and will send notifications to the operating system which will broadcast them to other applications.

This function returns True for succes and False for failure

e.g. AItem.FileReadOnly (True) This will set the file as set in the FileName property to read-only.

returns is the associated file is read only or not; remark: when the image is stored on a read-only medium then it is also reported as read only

Load a graphic. It is recommended to use TImageItem.Save instead.

Load a graphic. It is recommended to use TImageItem.Load instead.

interpret edits from any of the main RAW editors

interpret edits from Adobe CRS

interpret edits from DxO

interpret edits from CaptureOne

This method will update the file information of the object with details as retireved from the filename as set in the FileName property

If the quick parameter is set to true, it will only retrieve basic info like medium info, filesize, filestamp

If the quick parameter is set to false, it will retrieve basic info and add Exif information like photodate

e.g. AItem.FileName := 'c:\test.jpg'; AItem.UpdateFileInfo (False);

This function can be used to compare this object with another object to see if it concerns the same file.

It compares file name and medium information (MediumType, MediumName, MediumSerial)

Return True if the object specified refers to the same file as this object

e.g. AItem.FileName := 'c:\test.jpg'; AItem.UpdateFileInfo (True);

AItem2.FileName := 'd:\test.jpg'; AItem2.UpdateFileInfo (True);

if AItem.IsSameFileAs (AItem2) then Say ('Same') else Say ('Not same');

parse the macro commands in a mask

a high level wrapper for ParseMask; more targetted towards script developers. Custom variables can be passed to the script by using a TidElement (ACustoms.Prop['Name'] := 'Test'; ACustoms.Prop['Value'] := 1234)

This function can be used to determine if a file is on a medium that is direct available (not offline)

Return True if the medium this file refers to is accessable

e.g. AItem.FileName := 'c:\test.jpg'; AItem.UpdateFileInfo (True);

if AItem.MediumLoaded then Say ('ok') else Say ('Not ok');

returns if the medium is read only or not.

returns if the medium is loaded and that a medium is inserted if it is a swappable device

Clear the thumbnail that is in the Thumbstream

Returns True if the Thumbstream contains data, False if not

Load the thumbnail that is defined in the Thumbstream to a graphics object

e.g.

var APic: TPicture; AItem: TImageItem; ARes: TResizeSettings; begin APic := TPicture.Create; ARes := TResizeSettings.Create (nil); AItem := TImageItem.Create(nil); try AItem.FileName := 'c:\test.jpg'; AItem.UpdateFileInfo (True);

ARes.Width := 160; AItem.CreateThumb (ARes, False, False, False, False);

AItem.EnumThumbnail (APic.Bitmap);

APic.Bitmap.SaveToFile ('c:\test.bmp'); finally APic.Free; AItem.Free; ARes.Free; end; end;

rotate the image based on the Exif orientation tag read from a TTif object; returns True when rotated, false when not

rotate the image based on the Exif orientation tag read from a file; returns True when rotated, false when not

update the image's Exif orientation flag and return the new value; this returns -1 if Exif is not updated

returns if this image item has GPS metadata stored in Exif

returns if there is cached GPS coordinates (_Latitude, _Longitude, _Altitude) for this image

Is this a TIFF image?

return the filename that should be used for syncronization comparison
