Hello everyone, id like to know how to retrieve the meta-data a file contains. Ive managed to retrieve some, like Name of File, Size, Path, isHidden, Icon, etc.
But i still need more data, and can't find the methods to retrieve them. Im working with .TIF files. This is everything i need:
Title [CHECK]
Author
Description
Resolution X
Resolution Y
Dimensions
Size [CHECK]
Date/Time of Creation
Date/Time of last modification
Monocromatic / Color
Bits in the Color Pallete
I take it you've had a look at the spec?

I thought there was a library that would do the job, not just for TIFF files but files in general, i suppose there isnt one.Quote:

How about you grab a hold of this jar file.
/com/drewnoakes/metadata-extractor/2.4.0-beta-1/ - Maven Repository Browser - Jarvana
You need metadata-extractor-2.4.0-beta-1.jar and in it there will be a class called something like TiffMetadataReader :)
Enjoy!

Thanks, but am is supposed to install or include that class in my current libraries? Im a little confused because i downloaded the jar file and when i try to run it, nothing happens.Quote:
