Editing metadata in python

2) See post #2

I see. Is there any way to retrieve the metadata in the image, edit the fields I want to change and then add it back to the image? Also how is the XML library referenced in the program? Through a directory? pdb.gimp_image_set_metadata(image,[what goes here?]).

For example this is a way I am trying to add a plug-in to BIMP in order to change the metadata for a batch of images. META.txt being my XML library I set the fields to be updated, this is in the same folder as the .py file. It is not working.

from gimpfu import*



def plugin_no_meta(timg, tdrawable):



    pdb.gimp_image_set_metadata( timg, 'META.txt')

     



register(

        "python_no_meta",

        "strip",

        "for imgur or BB",

        "*",

        "*",

        "2016",

        "<Image>/Tools/no metadata...",

        "*",

        [],

        [],

        plugin_no_meta)


main()
