Retrieval of Project/project template metadata

Anonymous User

Hi Guys,

When we create the project template from a project, we need to add tags/description and few metadata.

The question is that how we can retrieve these information from ArcGIS pro sdk by using the file path only(e.g. C:\....\template1.aptx).

One of my client want to see these before choosing any template to create a project from the predefined template.

Hi Than,

Pro is using the 7 zip library. I attached a sample project to unzip a project file that appears to work for me, it should work for templates too. Since Pro ships with the 7z dll you can set the path for the extractor to the Pro install bin folder (c:\ArcGIS is my install location):

<SPAN class="comment token">// set 7z.dll path:</SPAN>
SevenZipExtractor<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN><SPAN class="token function">SetLibraryPath</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">(</SPAN><SPAN class="string token">@"C:\ArcGIS\Bin\7z.dll"</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">)</SPAN><SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

I also used the following NuGet: NuGet Gallery | SevenZipSharp.Interop 19.0.0

Hi Uma Harano‌ / Wolfgang Kaiser‌,

Any advice on how to get those project template file tag/description with sdk?

Hi Than,

This is not supported by the API. However, these files are simple .zip files so as a possible solution you could write some code to unzip the file (project or template) and parse the content for your tags.
