With QV 9 you can read file attributes.

Manual:

Attribute(

filename, attributename)

Returns the value of the meta tags of different file formats, e.g.

MP3, WMA, WMV and JPG files, as text.

Filename

is the name of a media file including path, if needed.

Attributename

is the name of a meta tag.

If the file

filename does not exist, is not a supported file format or dies not contain a meta tag named attributename, null will be returned.

A large number of meta tags can be used, e.g. 'Artist' or 'Date Picture Taken'. The supported tags can automatically be generated in the script. The keyboard shortcut for this generation is

CTRL +Q,J,P,G for jpg files, CTRL + Q,M,P,3 for mp3 files and CTRL +Q,W,M,A for wma files.

What are those "different file formates" and how can I use the generating-funktion? Do I have to chose a file? Where I have to chosse it?

Thanks you.
