#### Description [src]

If a signal handler is connected to `::parse-value` a signal is emitted when the file module accesses a value using gegl_metadata_set_value(). The signal handler should parse the value supplied in the `GValue` and may set any number of metadata values using gegl_metadata_store_set_value().

If no handler is connected the mapped metadata value is set normally,

Default handler: The default handler is called after the handlers added via `g_signal_connect()`.
