This doesn't work: CGImageSourceRef source = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL ((CFURLRef) [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path], NULL); NSDictionary* metadata = (NSDictionary *)CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(source,0,NULL); I get a dict with: ColorModel, Depth, DensityUnit etc. but no key with the user text. This works and retrieves the user text that was embedded in the image). Is there a more Cocoa-way to do this ather than having to use QuickTime and FSSpecs? GraphicsImportComponent tGIC; ComponentResult result; UserData myUD; Handle dataHandle; CFStringRef cfString = nil; FSRef theFSRef; FSSpec theFSSpec; OSErr err; CFURLGetFSRef ((CFURLRef) [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path], &theFSRef); err = FSGetCatalogInfo (&theFSRef, kFSCatInfoParentDirID, NULL, NULL, &theFSSpec, NULL); result = GetGraphicsImporterForFile (&theFSSpec, &tGIC); if (result == noErr) { err = NewUserData(&myUD); if (!err) { result = GraphicsImportGetMetaData (tGIC, myUD); if (result == noErr) { dataHandle = NewHandle (0); if (dataHandle) { err = GetUserDataText (myUD, dataHandle, kUserDataTextComment, 1, 0); if (!err) { HLock (dataHandle); cfString = CFStringCreateWithBytes (kCFAllocatorDefault, (UInt8 *) (*dataHandle), GetHandleSize(dataHandle), kCFStringEncodingMacRoman, false); } } } } } } _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
