save_metadata


Description:

public void save_metadata (Image exported_image, File file)

*Note: There is normally no need to call this function because it's already called by [class@ExportProcedure] after the `run()` callback.

*

*Only use this function if the [class@Metadata] passed as argument of a [class@ExportProcedure]'s run method needs to be written at a specific point of the export, other than its end.*

This function syncs back this's export properties to the metadata's [flags@MetadataSaveFlags] and writes the metadata to file.

The metadata is only ever written once. If this function has been called explicitly, it will do nothing when called a second time at the end of the `run()` callback.

Parameters:

this

a ProcedureConfig

exported_image

the image that was actually exported

file

the file exported_image was written to
