Question

我的应用程序应该能够将自定义元数据条目写入PNG图像，以便导出到UIPasteboard。

通过拼凑关于这个主题的各种帖子，我已经能够提出下面给出的课程作为来源。

使用按钮触发copyPressed方法，我可以使用JPG图像（EXIF）设置自定义元数据：

Image[6101:907] found jpg exif dictionary
Image[6101:907] checking image metadata on clipboard
Image[6101:907] {
    ColorModel = RGB;
    Depth = 8;
    Orientation = 1;
    PixelHeight = 224;
    PixelWidth = 240;
    "{Exif}" =     {
        ColorSpace = 1;
        PixelXDimension = 240;
        PixelYDimension = 224;
        UserComment = "Here is a comment";
    };
    "{JFIF}" =     {
        DensityUnit = 0;
        JFIFVersion =         (
            1,
            1
        );
        XDensity = 1;
        YDensity = 1;
    };
    "{TIFF}" =     {
        Orientation = 1;
    };
}

虽然我能够很好地阅读PNG元数据，但我似乎无法写信给它：

Image[6116:907] found png property dictionary
Image[6116:907] checking image metadata on clipboard
Image[6116:907] {
    ColorModel = RGB;
    Depth = 8;
    PixelHeight = 224;
    PixelWidth = 240;
    "{PNG}" =     {
        InterlaceType = 0;
    };
}

然而，文档中没有任何内容表明这应该失败，并且许多PNG-specific metadata constants的存在表明它应该成功。

我的应用应该使用PNG来避免JPG's lossy compression。

为什么我不能在iOS中的内存中PNG图像上设置自定义元数据？

注意：我见过this SO question，但它没有解决这里的问题，这是如何专门为PNG图像写入元数据。

如果您尝试使用修改后的元数据保存图像

[data writeToFile:[NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"test.png"]   
       atomically:YES];

而不是在Finder中查看它的属性。您将看到kCGImagePropertyPNGDescription字段已成功设置。

enter image description here

但是，如果您尝试阅读此新文件的元数据，kCGImagePropertyPNGDescription将会丢失。

ColorModel = RGB;
Depth = 8;
PixelHeight = 1136;
PixelWidth = 640;
"{PNG}" =     {
    InterlaceType = 0;
};

经过一番研究后，我发现PNG不包含元数据。但它可能包含XMP metadata。但似乎ImageIO与XMP无关也许您可以尝试使用ImageMagic或libexif。
