Status bar-settings

Post by mrwul »

Suggestion:

It would be nice if the the status bar could be configured.

For example:
I have made a few photos with very small differences in exposures (0,0 -0,3 +0,3)
When carefully looking at the photos (full screen) and going from one to the other and back and checking which one would be best, it would be nice to also see whether the photos are under or over exposed.

I think that the tooltips/info boxes/labels which the program already provides is a more flexible way to accomplish your request.

To change "cm instead of inches" go to Tools | Settings | General - uncheck 'Use inch for print size'

Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, I am aware of that, but my idea is adding info when viewing full screen.
In 'browse' (thumbnail) it is no problem.
Have added {EXIF:Focal Length}mm f/{EXIF:F-Number} {EXIF:Exposure Time}s {EXIF:ISO Value}iso {EXIF:Exposure Bias}
to Settings->View->3rd tab "Info" and selected "Show Information".
Now there is a small box in the left top corner.

I agree with the first post, add a config for the status bar....
that would be very awesome.
especially if it was an expression based config like the one in the settings > View >Info-Tab

I don't need to see width in inches or cm .... but i do need to see the (R, G, B, A) values for a pixel under my mouse... and the current floating window implementation of the color info bothers me. the font is light grey on a light grey bg window... almost unreadable.

so i would change the config to remove the width height in cm/in and add in R,G,B,A values for pixel at X,Y

please consider this suggestion to add the Status Bar section in the settings
