XML-Export der Ergebnisse

ImageQuery supports the export of result lists to a file. You can start the export by using [F12] or using the menu or toolbar actions. After you do this, the export settings dialog shown below will appear.

The export settings dialog box.

Dialog box fields

Export file name

The export filename defines the target file for the export. Click the folder button right to edit box for a folder browser.

Root element

You can set the name of the root element for then export, if you do not want to name it “files”.

Tag type

The default selection is to export tag names as text and as hex codes for unknown tags (e.g. 0x104f).

<metainfo tagname="size">303100</metainfo>

If you select the “Tags as numbers option”, the meta tags will be esported like so:

<metainfo tagname="0x1234">303100</metainfo>

Sample export file

The listing below shows the sample export for a file. Numerical or timestamp data will be written out as normal element content, while other data type (strings, arrays, etc.) will be written out as CDATA sections enclosed in a cdata tag to make XSLT processing easier (see the URL http://www.azureus.com/xml/art_creating_cdata_sections_in_xslt.htm for details on this). Please note that for brevetiy I only included three meta tags per group in the export file.
