Set metadata for imageCapture of camera

[neda]

Hi,
I use Qt version 5.6.0 with qml from windows 8.1.
I want to set metadata for captured images in QML.
I've tried the following code, the program runs on desktop takes the picture and saves it.
After I open it up with Preview and check the metadata... and nothing special there (no Author key).

camera.imageCapture.setMetadata("Author", "Neda")
                                                            camera.imageCapture.capture()

camera.imageCapture.setMetadata("Author", "Neda")
                                                            camera.imageCapture.capture()

The code for this is a bit complicated since this is plugin based, but maybe the service or the target format don't have meta data capabilities.
Do you get the imageMetaDataAvailable() signal?

No.
Also I used this code, but it does not work.

Camera {
                                id: camera
                                metaData.author: "neda"

Camera {
                                id: camera
                                metaData.author: "neda"

No.

Then metadata might not be supported.

As you can see here, the metadata writer can be 0 and QDeclarativeCameraCapture::setMetadata() (same file) just forwards the values to that object if it is not 0.

You could run the application in the debugger, set a break point in setMetadata() and see if that is the case.

QImageWriter has a method for adding text to an image file:

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qimagewriter.html#setText

I've tried using QImageWriter::setText(const QString & key, const QString & text) for storing copyright information or other information about the image.
But It does not work.

QImage image("c:/1.png");
    QImageWriter writer("c:/11.png", "png");
    writer.setText("Author", "neda");
    writer.write(image);

QImage image("c:/1.png");
    QImageWriter writer("c:/11.png", "png");
    writer.setText("Author", "neda");
    writer.write(image);

QImage image("c:/1.jpg");
    QImageWriter writer("c:/11.jpg", "jpg");
    writer.setText("Author", "neda");
    writer.write(image);

QImage image("c:/1.jpg");
    QImageWriter writer("c:/11.jpg", "jpg");
    writer.setText("Author", "neda");
    writer.write(image);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

QImage image("c:/1.jpg");
    QImageWriter writer("c:/11.png", "png");
    writer.setText("Author", "neda");
    writer.write(image);

QImage image("c:/1.jpg");
    QImageWriter writer("c:/11.png", "png");
    writer.setText("Author", "neda");
    writer.write(image);

Have you checked if the image writer for the given format supports that?
See QImageWriter::supportsOption().

This function returns true. But, none of my tries gave me any success (change data in Image Details tab properties).

void ImageSaver::save(const QString &path) const
{    
    QImage image("c:/3.jpeg");
    QImageWriter writer("c:/3.jpg", "jpg");
    if (writer.supportsOption(QImageIOHandler::Description)) ==>true
    {
        writer.setText("Author", "John Smith"); ==>
        writer.write(image);
    }
    else
        img_.save(path);
 
}

void ImageSaver::save(const QString &path) const
{    
    QImage image("c:/3.jpeg");
    QImageWriter writer("c:/3.jpg", "jpg");
    if (writer.supportsOption(QImageIOHandler::Description)) ==>true
    {
        writer.setText("Author", "John Smith"); ==>
        writer.write(image);
    }
    else
        img_.save(path);
    
}
