I am trying to batch update Web links (AlbumObject represented by *.webloc files). I was able to update Title:

getProperties().put("title", "MyTitle")

and comment:

setComment()

I can't find how to change location of image file associated with link (not every site provides descent image for preview). In .webloc.info file imageURI is a member of HiddenPropery:

   <void method="put">
   <string>imageURI</string>
   <object class="se.datadosen.jalbum.AlbumObjectProperties$HiddenProperty">
    <void property="property">
     <string>file:/C:/test/abc.png</string>
    </void>
   </object>
  </void>

Is there any way to access this property from the groovy script?

There is still an option to modify *.webloc.info files directly from outside jAlbum. But this can be broken later if jAlbum will change the way it stores data later.

I appreciate any help or better ideas.

Hello Rob,

This was very helpful. Somehow I missed "HiddenProperty" property of AlbumObject. Just a minor correction if anyone will need the same. Proper code should be:

ao.getProperties().putHidden( "imageURI", se.datadosen.util.IO.urlEncode(val));

- it seems there is no HiddenPropery property
- urlEncode is needed for spaces and some other symbols can be used in file name

I'm moving this to the Skin and Tool development forum. We're trying to keep this forum to just the tools, plugins and extensions themselves, to make it easier to find specific things. If you decide to share the tool post it in the tools, plugins and extensions forum.
