XnViewMP v0.39 - Fullscreen overlay info

Post by pim »

Is there any way to show in overlay info other informations than those listed in: Settings->View->Info->Information Displayed?
For example:

Code: Select all

$ exiftool -TAG -UserComment 141-4154_IMG.JPG 
User Comment                    : Forum Romanum
I have tried Tag description, name and ID in decimal and hexadecimal form but with no luck (dec returns empty string and hex always returns first tag no matter which ID number I use):

Code: Select all

EXIF:User Comment="{EXIF:User Comment}";
EXIF:UserComment="{EXIF:UserComment}";
EXIF:37510="{EXIF:37510}";
EXIF:0x9286="{EXIF:0x9286}";
I have loads of old pictures described this way. Exiftool can read this tag, XnView can read this tag but I haven't found a method to show it in overlay info.
Can somebody help me with this?
Thanks for an answer.

Sure:

That tag has been written using IrfanView (tag $E37510). I have over 10 000 pics from that camera and hundreds of them tagged that way.

Thank you:-)
By the way, why do you keep a list of possible tags for overlay info? Wouldn't it be easier even for you to let us, users, select any tag from exif and show it in overlay info by entering correct tag ID?
For example right click on any exif value would show option "Copy tag ID to clipboard" and then we could just paste it into overlay info menu and set it completely according to own preferences:-).
I'm not demanding this but I'm curious why do you keep list which probably requires vendor specific tag translation.
