[SOLVED] INFO panel (in viewer) doesn't show all Exif data

[bemymonkey]

Hello there,

I'm having a strange issue and I'm wondering if this is something that's known to be an issue or may be something new: The Info panel in the top left of the screen in the viewer (and full screen) doesn't always show all the contents of all the EXIF fields I'm trying to have visible.

As an example:

Code: Select all

{EXIF:Model} {EXIF:Lens Model}
({EXIF:Focal Length 35mm}mm@35) -  {EXIF:Focal Length}mm {EXIF:Shutter Speed}s {EXIF:Aperture} ISO{EXIF:ISO Value}

results in:

Code: Select all

Nikon D850
(35mm@35) - 35mm s ISO64

As you can see, Lens Model, Shutter Speed, and Aperture are missing.

However, when I check the actual EXIF data using the info panel in the browser view, these fields are clearly populated with values. The browser also displays these values under the image thumbnail without any problems - it's only the Info field in the viewer that has the issue.


The images are JPG images SooC from a Nikon D850. Interestingly JPGs processed from RAW using Adobe Camera Raw from the same camera don't display this issue.

I'm running XNView 1.9.1 64bit (Linux) - Libformat 7.226, which is the latest available Flatpak. I have verified that the issue also occurs with the latest available AppImage. I'm not entirely sure, but I can't remember this happening on Windows - if that's worth pursuing I can check next week when I'm back within reach of a Windows machine.


I can supply sample images if required, please just give me a heads up if that is the case.

hello,

With the Windows version, some info is also missing

You can try with {EXIF:F-Number} and {EXIF:Exposure Time}

Hi Franky, thanks for the quick reply, that's an excellent workaround!

Of course I'm still interested in why it's happening - were the field names I was using simply incorrect?

You can check which labels are used for the Thumbnail.
It's in Settings/Thumbnail/Labels

Thank you Frranky!

I've since done some Googling and followed up using exiftool: Apparently the Nikon SooC JPEGs really don't include these fields!

Note that the ACR-edited version includes both Exposure Time as well as Shutter Speed Value, in addition to both F Number as well as Aperture Value. SooC JPEG only has F Number and F Number, respectively.


Hence: Not an XnView issue!
