# Gimp.RunLoadFunc

    function onRunLoadFunc(procedure: Gimp.Procedure, run_mode: Gimp.RunMode, file: Gio.File, metadata: Gimp.Metadata, flags: Gimp.MetadataLoadFlags, config: Gimp.ProcedureConfig): [return_value: Gimp.ValueArray, flags: Gimp.MetadataLoadFlags] {
    }

The load function is run during the lifetime of the GIMP session, each time a plug-in load procedure is called.

You are expected to read file and create a [class@Gimp.Image] out of its data. This image will be the first return value. metadata will be filled from metadata from file if our infrastructure supports this format. You may tweak this object, for instance adding metadata specific to the format. You can also edit flags if you need to filter out some specific common fields. For instance, it is customary to remove a colorspace field with [flags@MetadataLoadFlags] when a profile was added.
