Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property
on target.
Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is
updated using the same value. For instance:
g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget #GObject instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action #GObject instance.
If flags contains %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual:
if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source
will be updated as well.
The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the
target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the
source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned
#GBinding instance.
Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if
the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it
is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it
is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be
finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and
use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.
A #GObject can have multiple bindings.

Destroys the #GExiv2Metadata object and frees all associated memory.
Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is
non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is
stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased
to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one
#GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the
object is frozen.
This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

Checks whether object has a [floating][floating-ref] reference.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.
This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().
One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:
enum
{
PROP_0,
PROP_FOO,
PROP_LAST
};
static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];
static void
my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
{
properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", "Foo", "The foo",
0, 100,
50,
G_PARAM_READWRITE);
g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
PROP_FOO,
properties[PROP_FOO]);
}
and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:
g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);

Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the
[floating][floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.
In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.
Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type
under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().

Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.
If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.
Internally, the key is converted to a #GQuark using g_quark_from_string().
This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been
finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values
for key in your program, to avoid the #GQuark storage growing unbounded.

Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.
name of the key
This function gets back user data pointers stored via
g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data from object
without invoking its destroy() function (if any was
set).
Usually, calling this function is only required to update
user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
void
object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
const gchar *new_string)
{
// the quark, naming the object data
GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
// retrieve the old string list
GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);
// prepend new string
list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
// this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
}
static void
free_string_list (gpointer data)
{
GList *node, *list = data;
for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
g_free (node->data);
g_list_free (list);
}
Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().
A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
Reverts the effect of a previous call to
g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object
and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.
It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.

Decreases the reference count of object. When its reference count
drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).
If the pointer to the #GObject may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to %NULL rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid #GObject instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.

Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.
Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.
This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to
the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized,
the closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on
it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized
(nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are
added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra
reference count is held on object during invocation of the
closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that
use this object as closure data.

Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.
This function is meant to be called from the interface's default

An object holding all the Exiv2 metadata. Previews, if present, are also available.
As gexiv2 is only a wrapper around Exiv2, it's better to read its documentation to understand the full scope of what it offers:
In particular, rather than providing a getter/setter method pair for every metadata value available for images (of which there are thousands), Exiv2 uses a dotted addressing scheme. For example, to access a photo's EXIF Orientation field, the caller passes to Exiv2 "Exif.Photo.Orientation". Thesetags (in Exiv2 parlance) are key to using Exiv2 (and
therefore gexiv2) to its fullest.
A full reference for all supported Exiv2 tags can be found at
