Do Telerik ImageEditor preserve the image Metadata?

[em]

I'm trying to access some metada features of the image selected by user. I'm using following code to read metadata of the image once user selects it. However, it always returns null. 

var metadata = ImageEditorUI.ImageEditor.Image.Bitmap.Metadata; 

 

Does telerik imageEditor erases all metadata when loaded?

Hello Em,

I will check your scenario a bit later and come back to you with more information on the matter.

Hello,

The RadImageEditor works with RadBitmap object which internally uses the native WriteableBitmap that doesn't support storing metadata. This is why the property returns null.

A possible approach I can suggest for getting the metadata is to do it via the originally loaded image. For example, you can use the BitFrame class which supports metadata.

BitmapFrame originalSource = BitmapFrame.Create(new Uri(myImagePath, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
RadBitmap bitmap = new RadBitmap(originalSource);
this.imageEditor.Image = bitmap;

var metadata = originalSource.Metadata;

Can you try this approach and let me know if it works in your case.
