Update a String Property in XMP

See more XMP Examples

Demonstrates how to open a JPG or TIF image file, access the XMP metadata, and update the value of a string property. (If the string property does not already exist, it is created.) CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

xmp = chilkat.CkXmp()

# Load a JPG or TIF image file.
success = xmp.LoadAppFile("qa_data/xmp/AJ_123642_1511.tif")
if (success != True):
    print(xmp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Num embedded XMP docs: " + str(xmp.get_NumEmbedded()))

# This example assumes that XMP metadata is already present in the image file.
if (xmp.get_NumEmbedded() == 0):
    print("No XMP metadata already exists..")
    sys.exit()

# Get the XMP metadata.

# xml is a CkXml
xml = xmp.GetEmbedded(0)

# Show the XML:
print(xml.getXml())

# Update (overwrite) a string property.
xmp.AddSimpleStr(xml,"NumberofTimes","123")

success = xmp.SaveAppFile("qa_output/updated.tif")
if (success != True):
    print(xmp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Success.")
