Is there a Workaround in DM/DAM 5.5 to read EXIF/IPTC metadata on TIF files?

bruce_Grant — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 17:29:39 GMT

When I import JPG files with EXIF information it is read properly and reflected in the picture metadata in Nuxeo. However, when I try the same with TIF images I get an error (see dump below). I did notice that between 5.4.2 and 5.5 the following have been dropped ... JAI-Adapter-0.9.5.jar, mlib_jai-1.1.2_01.jar, and possibly others(?). Even if I fix the PlanarImage error by adding required jars I still get the same error in ReadOp.createImageReader. I have, however, confirmed that the stream is readable (at least using FileUtils) by overriding the PictureChangedListener and reading the stream into a Byte array.

I haven't found the 0.9.5 source (although newer sources are available on bitbucket).

Is there any known workaround for this? Are their libraries missing in the 5.5 stream?

Thanks, Bruce.

Using the newer version of the metadata-extractor (2.5.0-RC3) does solve this problem and opens up a much broader set of metadata for extraction. I started down the path of writing a wrapper for 2.5.0-RC3 to maintain backward compatibility with Nuxeo 5.5, but there are a fair number of connection points and it was easier just to adapt the listener and the newer extractor to purpose. Of course it would be better if 2.5.0-RC3 were wrapped into the core product!

More details on what I did and a code snippet.

Thanks, I'll try to have a look to integrate it into Nuxeo.
