Member Function Documentation

virtual IMetaData* IMetaData::Clone	(	IDataBase *	db = `nil`,
		const ClassID &	classID = `kMetaDataBoss`
	)		const

pure virtual

Clones new object of classID and returns IID_IMETADATA interface on newly created object. If db is non-nil, new object is created persistently. Otherwise it is non-persistent. Returns nil if the object cannot be created or IID_IMETADATA interface does not exist.

Parameters

db	IN DataBase
classID	IN Boss class

Returns: IMetaData* IID_IMETADATA interface on newly created object.

virtual IMetaData* IMetaData::CloneForRendition	(	const PMString &	renditionClass,
		const metadata::MIMEType &	format
	)		const

pure virtual

Creates a clone metadata object for a rendition. Clears the 'xapMM:Manifest' property of the cloned object. The 'xapMM:RenditionClass' property of the cloned object is set to renditionClass. And the 'xap:Format' property of the cloned object is set to format.

Parameters

renditionClass	IN The rendition class name.
format	IN The resource format.

Returns: IMetaData* IID_IMETADATA interface on newly cloned object.

virtual void IMetaData::Copy ( const IMetaData * srcMetaData )

pure virtual

Fills this metadata boss with metadata from 'srcMetaData'

Parameters

srcMetaData IN The source MetaData

virtual void IMetaData::LinkedResourceAdded	(	ILink *	iLink,
		bool16	useFileURL = `kTrue`
	)

pure virtual

Adds a reference of the link to xmpMM:Manifest The reference of the link in the Manifest is obtained through asset management system or the link's XMP data. If neither of them are avilable and useFileURL is kTrue, the link's file location is used as the reference.

Parameters

iLink	IN Pointer to the ILink instance that can be used to obtain the metadata.
useFileURL	IN whether to use link's file location as the reference, if the reference of the link is not obtained through both asset management system and the link's XMP data
