CR3 files imported as preview-only with the 1620x1080 PRVW JPEG and no metadata (no camera, capture time, exposure, lens or GPS): nothing read the container. - crates/meta/src/cr3.rs: bounded ISO base media box parser for CR3 (Canon uuid box with CMT1-4 and THMB, tracks with their sample entries, CMP1 coding header and sample location, XMP uuid box). Every size/offset checked; depth and box count bounded. - Metadata: CMT1 (IFD0), CMT2 (Exif) and CMT4 (GPS) merged into one TIFF Exif block, so CR3 reads like any TIFF-based raw; XMP from its uuid box. - Preview: the full-size JPEG track (6960x4640 on an EOS R6 Mark III) before PRVW/THMB; imports report the full image size. - Tests: synthetic CR3 (boxes, tracks, merged Exif), truncation/corruption sweep, JPEG track preferred over PRVW with fallback. Raw (CRX) data is still not decoded; CR3 stays preview-only.
lightcraft-meta (L1)
Photo metadata: EXIF, XMP (read + write), IPTC-IIM, and the containers that carry them.
API
| Function | Purpose |
|---|---|
read_exif(&[u8]) -> Metadata |
TIFF-structured Exif block (whole TIFF/DNG/raw file, or JPEG APP1 payload with/without Exif\0\0). try_read_exif reports header errors. |
from_tiff(&Tiff) -> Metadata |
Same, from an already parsed stream (used by lightcraft-raw). |
embedded(&[u8]) -> Embedded |
Sniffs JPEG / PNG / WebP / TIFF and returns the Exif, XMP (+ extended XMP), ICC and IPTC blocks. jpeg_segments, png_chunks, webp_chunks are the per-container walkers. |
parse_xmp(&str) -> Result<XmpData> |
Metadata + the opaque lc:settings JSON + every property (prefix:name, structs flattened as a:b/c:d). |
write_xmp(&Metadata, Option<&str>) -> String |
Complete <?xpacket?> packet; the second argument is LightCraft's full develop settings JSON. |
parse_iptc(&[u8]) -> Metadata |
IIM record 2: title (2:5), keywords (2:25), by-line (2:80), copyright (2:116), caption (2:120), date/time created (2:55/2:60). |
extract(&[u8]) -> Metadata |
Everything for a whole file. Precedence: EXIF → IPTC fills gaps → XMP overrides user fields (rating, label, title, caption, artist, copyright, keywords, GPS) and fills the rest. |
Metadata carries camera (make, model, serial, software), lens (make, model, serial, specification), capture
(date-time with UTC offset and milliseconds, exposure time, f-number, ISO incl. extended ISO, focal length and
35 mm equivalent, flash, exposure bias, program, metering, white balance), orientation, GPS, dimensions and the
user fields (artist, copyright, title, caption, keywords, hierarchical keywords, rating −1…5, colour label).
XMP namespaces
Written: dc, xmp, photoshop, exif, exifEX, tiff, lr (hierarchicalSubject) and ours,
lc = http://ns.lightcraft.app/lc/1.0/ (lc:settings, an opaque JSON string). Reading canonicalises
prefixes by namespace URI, handles attribute and element forms, rdf:Seq/Bag/Alt (x-default first),
rdf:parseType="Resource" and nested-description structs, predefined and numeric entities. Nesting depth
and node count are limited.
Robustness
No panics on malformed input: proptests feed random bytes to every container walker and random text to the XMP parser; truncation tests cut a sample JPEG at every byte.
