[Digikam-devel] Question regarding KIPI::ImageInfo

[Vardhman Jain]

Hi,
     In a plugin I am trying to make, I have a list(array) of files to
be processed, I followed some example and understood that QPair is
being used in most of them as the base element in a Queue, most
example use QPair<QString, QString> as they need some simple
data(second QString) along with the file path(the first QString), but
in my case I want to pass the complete KIPI::ImageInfo as the second
argument. That will allow me extract lots of information when the
element is actually processed. So I wrote this code
[snip]
    typedef QPair<QString,KIPI::ImageInfo> Pair;
    m_uploadQueue.clear();
    for (KURL::List::iterator it = urls.begin(); it != urls.end(); ++it)
    {
        KIPI::ImageInfo info = m_interface->info( *it );
        kdDebug( 50001 ) <<" Adding images to the list"<<endl;
        m_uploadQueue.append( Pair( (*it).path(), info ) );
    }
[/snip]
The code doesn't compile saying KIPI::ImageInfo::ImageInfo() is a
private contructor,(which is true), what is the way of storing whole
ImageInfo object in the array. It is not supposed to be done, also
will it have some adverse effect on performance? (Due to size of the
ImageInfo objects?)

Second Question: how would I extract tags of a image given ImageInfo object?
