I want to write image tags (keywords tag) with Taglib# library (GitHub, NuGet Install-Package taglib), so I used this example and this tutorial. Based on it I wrote this method:
using TagLib;
public void AddTagsToImage()
{
string path = @"C:\image.jpg";
string[] tagset = new string[] { "tag1", "tag2", "tag3" };
TagLib.File tagFile = TagLib.File.Create(path);
var image = tagFile as TagLib.Image.File;
image.ImageTag.Keywords = tagset;
image.Save();
}
It compiles, but does not work as expected. Image file opens alright, then we identify it as image, but whet I try to set image.ImageTag.Keywords property nothing happens (It is string[] as is tagset). Saving image therefore modifies nothing. So, how do I need to modify to make this work?
EDIT. The problem was due to error 0x88982F72 or, apparently, if image metadata does not exists/damaged Taglib# library may not work correctly.
I have tried your code and works just fine for me.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string path = @"C:\image.jpg";
string[] tagset = new string[] { "tag1", "tag2", "tag3" };
TagLib.File tagFile = TagLib.File.Create(path);
var image = tagFile as TagLib.Image.File;
Console.WriteLine("Rating : " + image.ImageTag.Rating);
Console.WriteLine("DateTime : " + image.ImageTag.DateTime);
Console.WriteLine("Orientation : " + image.ImageTag.Orientation);
Console.WriteLine("Software : " + image.ImageTag.Software);
Console.WriteLine("ExposureTime : " + image.ImageTag.ExposureTime);
Console.WriteLine("FNumber : " + image.ImageTag.FNumber);
Console.WriteLine("ISOSpeedRatings : " + image.ImageTag.ISOSpeedRatings);
Console.WriteLine("FocalLength : " + image.ImageTag.FocalLength);
Console.WriteLine("FocalLength35mm : " + image.ImageTag.FocalLengthIn35mmFilm);
Console.WriteLine("Make : " + image.ImageTag.Make);
Console.WriteLine("Model : " + image.ImageTag.Model);
image.ImageTag.Keywords = tagset;
image.Save();
foreach (var item in image.ImageTag.Keywords)
Console.WriteLine("> Tag: " + item);
Console.ReadLine();
}
Be aware that for testing this code you need to actually have an image in the path: C:\image.jpg
