L_LTFIL_API L_INT L_SetMarkers(hMarkers, uFlags)

L_VOID* hMarkers;

marker handle

L_UINT uFlags;

flags that determine function behavior

Sets the metadata markers to be used in the current thread.

Parameter

Description

hMarkers

Handle to a collection of metadata markers. This handle is created by either the L_LoadMarkers function or the L_CreateMarkers function. This handle can reference Exif and/or GPS comments, a small Exif stamp, a bigger wireless stamp, audio data and whatever else was in the original file.

 

The markers referenced by this handle will replace the markers previously set using L_SetMarkers.

 

Pass NULL to clear any markers previously set by L_SetMarkers.

uFlags

Reserved for future use. Pass 0.

Returns

SUCCESS

The function was successful.

< 1

An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

All save operations performed in this thread will use these markers until L_SetMarkers is called again.

A copy of these markers will be used, so you can delete hMarkers when L_SetMarkers returns.

Comments set with L_SetComment will take precedence over any comments contained in the markers.

Tags set with L_SetTag will take precedence over any user-defined tags contained in the markers.

If the L_SaveXXX function is instructed to save a stamp, the stamp will be regenerated from the bitmap and will override whatever Exif stamp is present in the markers.

Working with Markers

Example

This example lets you modify a file and preserve all its metadata, comments and audio. Keep in mind this will not save any stamp. If you want to save a stamp, modify the L_SaveBitmap call and tell it to save a stamp. That will make L_SaveBitmap regenerate a new stamp so it matches the modified image.
