Method

GimpImagemetadata_save_filter

unstable since: 3.0

Declaration [src] 

GimpMetadata*
gimp_image_metadata_save_filter (
  GimpImage* image,
  const gchar* mime_type,
  GimpMetadata* metadata,
  GimpMetadataSaveFlags flags,
  GFile* file,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Filters the metadata retrieved from the image with gimp_image_metadata_save_prepare(), taking into account the passed flags.

Note that the image passed to this function might be different from the image passed to gimp_image_metadata_save_prepare(), due to whatever file export conversion happened in the meantime

This is an alternative to gimp_image_metadata_save_finish when you want to save metadata yourself and you need only filtering processing.

Available since: 3.0
