saving the Global Metadata

[bhcho]

Hi All,

Is there any API method that can save the original Global Metadata from TIFF file, when I conver a TIFF image to OME-TIFF?

Thanks in advance.

Is there any API method that can save the original Global Metadata from TIFF file, when I conver a TIFF image to OME-TIFF?

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

  IFormatReader reader = new ImageReader();
  IMetadata metadata = MetadataTools.createOMEXMLMetadata();
  reader.setOriginalMetadataPopulated(true);
  reader.setMetadataStore(metadata);
  reader.setId("/path/to/input/file");

  IFormatWriter writer = new ImageWriter();
  writer.setMetadataRetrieve(metadata);
  // calls to writer.saveBytes go here...

The only difference with my code is

reader.setOriginalMetadataPopulated(true);

But even if I include that code, It still does not work.
(Anyway, createOMEXMLMetadata() in loci.formats.MetadataTools has been deprecated. So I just used OMEXMLService instead of MetadataTools).
