It's experimental, you need to use {ExifTool: xxxx}

[manuel_songokuh]

update:

i check version of EXIFTOOL for Windows: version of EXIFTOOL is 12.85 this is old version release from "May 21, 2024 - Version 12.85" instead last version is "Oct. 8, 2024 - Version 12.98". so can add here last version of EXIFTOOL?

ExifTool is no more distributed as a single exe?

[manuel_songokuh]

i find the file ZIP (WORKS) for exiftool version 12.98 for windows (exe + folder), i replace old exiftool.exe from xnviewmp1.8.1 to new exiftool 12.98 and run xnviewmp and test open info result works..

file

Hi

I'm pretty new to XnView but loving it so far. Trying to navigate my way around the Information that can be displayed on top of each image when displayed as single image/full screen.

Having access to more of the image data such as that in ExifTool would be very useful. Have tried various settings but seems a bit hit or miss for me but understand it's just for evaluation at present. Could someone tell me when using {ExifTool: xxxx} is the xxxx supposed to refer to the name of the field you want to display or is this supposed to be the hex value of the field (or either) please?

If it's the hex value am I supposed to be able to gleam that from here....https://exiftool.org/TagNames/index.html

Thanks for your help

hi hogkite

i can to help you:

example my case:
i wish to show Focus mode, so FIRST go to see:(got to menu: Image->properties->ExifTool-> search (what you want to show in Info) my case: Focus Mode, close properties and go to Setting->View->Info , i add parameter:

Focus Mode: <font color="cyan">{ExifTool:FocusMode}<font color="white">

Note: you need to remove "space": Focus Mode --> FocusMode
{ExifTool:Focus Mode} = not work
{ExifTool:FocusMode} = works

Pierre --> UPDATE:
for WINDOWS is works 10000% with my file zip see above.
i did checked in Run terminal:

exiftool.exe -ver
12.98



for LINUX: is not work because file exiftool of 12.98, i find this file name "exiftool" path: ../AddOn/
file has different command:
12.98: #!/usr/bin/env perl
12.67: #!/usr/bin/perl -w

instead i send the file zip for Linux ( ../AddOn/lib/here) this is works (replace) but is not correct..not safety...

but i replace myself my risk.. but the file exiftool (../AddOn/) needs to fix, maybe next version will be to fix it (maybe minor bug?)

@manuel_songokuh

Thank you very much, that's great, I can see how that works

I notice when you look at the ExifTool tab in the properties window that it is made up of several areas, for instance....

Exif Tool
File
Exif
Composite
MakerNotes

A few of the fields I want appear to exist in at least two different areas and show different values. Is there a way to be specific in the View/Information window about which section you want the information pulled from or maybe to know what the hex value of a specific field and then specify that in the View/Information window.

For example the following two fields exist in both the Exif and Makernotes area:

White Balance and Metering Mode

Each has a different value, for example White Balance says "Manual" in Exif and "Cloudy" in Makernotes. As it happens it has pulled the information from Makernotes which is what I wanted but wondering if its possible to be more specific about the field/area?

Thanks again

@hogkite

EXIF is poor information, so EXIFTOOL is rich of information.

-for your case: you can send me file RAW so i can try it and understand.

[hogkite]

Thanks Manuel

I have PM you. Let me know when you have the file please
