############################################################################### <# .SYNOPSIS Extracts comprehensive metadata from an image file. .DESCRIPTION This function reads EXIF, IPTC and other metadata from an image file. It extracts a wide range of information including camera details, exposure settings, GPS coordinates, dates, copyright information, and more. It supports images that contain metadata in their EXIF data (JPEG, TIFF) as well as PNG metadata. .LICENSE Copyright (C) 2026 René Vaessen / GenXdev This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

The file must be a valid image format that supports metadata (JPEG, TIFF, PNG, etc.). .PARAMETER AutoConsent Force a consent prompt even if a preference is already set for ImageSharp package installation, overriding any saved consent preferences. .PARAMETER AutoConsentAllPackages Automatically consent to third-party software installation and set a persistent preference flag for ImageSharp packages, bypassing interactive consent prompts. .OUTPUTS System.Collections.Hashtable Returns a hashtable containing all available metadata categories including: - Basic (dimensions, format, etc.) - Camera (make, model, etc.) - Exposure (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc.) - GPS (latitude, longitude, etc.) - DateTime (when taken, modified, etc.) - Author (artist, copyright, etc.) - Additional (software, comments, etc.) .EXAMPLE Get-ImageMetadata -ImagePath "C:\Pictures\vacation.jpg" .EXAMPLE "C:\Pictures\vacation.jpg" | Get-ImageMetadata .EXAMPLE Get-ImageMetadata -ImagePath "C:\Pictures\photo.webp" -AutoConsentAllPackages #> function Get-ImageMetadata { [CmdletBinding()] [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute('PSUseSingularNouns', '')] [OutputType([GenXdev.Helpers.ImageSearchResultMetadata])] param ( ######################################################################## [Parameter( Mandatory = $true, Position = 0, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, HelpMessage = 'Path to the image file to analyze' )] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$ImagePath, ######################################################################## [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = 'Automatically consent to this installation type and set persistent flag..' )] [switch] $AutoConsent, ######################################################################## [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = 'Automatically consent to ALL third-party software installations and set persistent flag for ImageSharp packages.' )] [switch] $AutoConsentAllPackages, ######################################################################## [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = ('Use alternative settings stored in session for ' + 'preferences') )] [switch]$SessionOnly ######################################################################## ) begin { [GenXdev.Helpers.ImageSearchResultMetadata] $metadata = [GenXdev.Helpers.ImageSearchResultMetadata]::new(); #
