`show_meta`

The show_meta command displays metadata from one or more GONet image files.

By default, metadata is printed as terminal text. The command can also generate HTML output for GUI-backed preview workflows. In the graphical preview, the metadata window includes Save PDF and Exit actions; Save PDF writes the displayed metadata tables to a PDF file.

For the conceptual tool guide, see metadata inspection tool guide.

Usage

GONet_Wizard show_meta [-h] [--html] filenames [filenames ...]

Arguments

filenames

One or more GONet image files to inspect.

The command supports files, folders, wildcards, and comma-separated lists.

Options

--html

Return metadata as HTML instead of plain terminal text.

This option is mainly useful for GUI and preview-backed workflows. When the HTML preview is opened through the desktop UI, the preview includes a Save PDF button that writes the displayed metadata tables to disk.

Examples

Print metadata for one image:

GONet_Wizard show_meta image.jpg

Print metadata for several images:

GONet_Wizard show_meta image1.jpg image2.jpg

Inspect metadata using a wildcard:

GONet_Wizard show_meta *.jpg

Generate HTML metadata output:

GONet_Wizard show_meta image.jpg --html
