Metadata Helper

Synopsis​

This operator can be used to manipulate the metadata of a Custom Operator.

Description​

The subprocess of this operator defines the metadata of its output port using the input metadata of the md ports. The data is not affected by the subprocess and just passed from the first input port to the output port. Use this for Custom Operators where the defining process does not correctly supply the metadata.

If the parameter only if metadata missing is selected the metadata of the subprocess is only used when there is no metadata at the input port, otherwise the existing metadata is just passed through to the output port.

Input​

input​

The input data.

md​

It is not compulsory to connect any object with this port. Any metadata of a object connected at this port is delivered without any modifications to the subprocess. This operator can have multiple md inputs. When one input is connected, another md input port becomes available which is ready to accept another input (if any). The order of inputs remains the same. The object supplied at the first md input port of the operator is available at the first md output port in the subprocess.

Output​

output​

The object that was given as input is passed without changing to the output through this port.

Parameters​

Only if metadata missing​

If this is selected the metadata of the subprocess is only used when there is no metadata at the input port, otherwise that is just passed through to the output port.
