How to switch from file properties to EXIF information in the browser?

Post by DenalB »

After opening an image from the browser, clicking the properties button in the Toolbar brings up a window where you can see all EXIF information and much more.

Doing the same in the browser brings up the file properties from Windows 11 like clicking the file in Windows Explorer and choosing properties.

Is there any possibility to get the EXIF information when clicking properties in the browser?

Yes, I know. But I disabled the info panel to have more space for the important things. That’s why I thought, I’m able to open EXIF info via keyboard shortcut or a special icon.

So, this isn’t possible, right?

A workaround , using right-click and "open with ..." :
See this post : viewtopic.php?p=178754#p178754


Keyboard shortcuts are automatically added (Alt 1 ...)

I've forgotten to specify parameter : -k -exif:all

Other way
If you need to display only a few exif parameters, you can add them in tooltips ( Tools>Settings>Browser)
With "Insert" button, several exif fields can be used, and the layout can be organized with a large flexibility

Is this only to show the EXIF information?

That's what I already use to show the creation date, the modification date, the camera model and the file size. But maybe I will add some more information there. Thanks!
