Support ExifTool tags in tooltip/info panels

Currently unfortunately many tags available via the external ExifTool extension, e.g., QuickTime:Chroma Format , are not available in the built-in Exif tool
And furthermore ExifTool tags aren't supported in the tooltips/info panels https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?p=183828#p183828

"subject area" EXIF field missing from EXIF info tab, add it?

I've noticed that ExifTool tab has a "subject area" field in its Exif category, but it's missing from the EXIF tab, which I'd assume should show all the available exif fields, so maybe this one should also be added?

Re: Shortcuts - bindings - add separate shortcuts functionality



(optional) remove sequential shortcuts functionality
as its usefulness is questionable




While the system should definitely allow binding an arbitray number of shortcuts to a single command, removing sequential ones would be a huge mistake as they offer the most ergonomic way to group/use ...

Shortcut sequence can't be loaded

I've changed a cmd_useToolbar from the default to a sequence of two keys: A, A

This works before I restart the app, but after the restart, the old shortcut remains, and the menu doesn't show the new one. Although the default.keys file still contains this shortcut. It seems as though there is ...

Allow custom groups/menus in toolbars

To save space I'd like to add 5 commands with long names into a custom drop-down "group" menu similar to how there is a File and other menus. Would you add an extra custom element called "Menu" where I could add whatever commands I want?

So in addition to -- COMMAND -- you'd also have -- MENU BEGIN ...

Add support for lossless crop/rotate operations for HEIC

There is currently support for lossless crop/rotate operations for JPEG (via a separate menu), but for HEIC there is no such thing even though it's even a spec requirement as far as I understand https://nokiatech.github.io/heif/technical.html

There are lossless commands that I can add to the ...

A/B compare: add shortcut to swap images instead of the slider

A/B compare is a great comparison tool, but what would make it even better if instead of a slider you could have an option to press a key, e.g., Shift (customizable in the keyboard config), to quickly change pictures - this makes it easier to spot differences in pictures as it affects the whole ...

Re: Shift[ shortcut stored as Shift{, making it unusable

English US layout

But it seems I was wrong about P, just tried it again it a couple of layouts and alpha-keys seem to work fine, so maybe it's only symbols that are special

Shift[ shortcut stored as Shift{, making it unusable

I'd like to use Shift+[, however, in the Interface→Shortcuts when I use this combo, it gets recorded as shifted twice, i.e., as Shift+{ instead of Shift+[
This makes the shortcut unusable as you can't enter the double-shifted Shift+{
The same thing happens with Shift+123..., gets recorded as Shift ...

Re: Re-saving PNG deletes EXIF

Upd: I've learned that the Apple chunk is supposed to disappear per PNG spec, but that still doesn't explain the warning

Just converted a screenshot in the new version and noticed that there is a warning from exiftool, though not sure what it is
before

Re: Duplicate top menu items

Can confirm it's fixed and not creating any duplicate menus (I see the menu flashing when I close the last file, which I assume is that "refresh" action the prevents duplication)
Thank you!
