Exif improvements

I love the feature of displaying info text over the full screen images. However I would love to see it improved in two ways:

- text over photo not only in full screen or a properties tab along the preview tab that can be always open. Currently Exif can be viewed only from properties and cannot be left on otherwise.

- Custom Exif fields display. My Casio digicams are storing some values in custom fields. For example ISO is not stored in 'sensitivity' field, but in 'ccd sensitivity' custom field. I would love to be able to display these values like the standard ones, choosing from a picture which custom fields to add.

I fully agree, Viewing the exif informations in a tab next to the picture in preview mode or like in fullscreen will be apreciated a lot.

It's a good way to check why a picture is good and another one is bad if the exif datas can be easily displayed.

I suggest the way of camp2pc to display informations in fullscreen is a very good example. (displays exif and/or histogram over the picture)

Could you send me a sample, please?

Hello,
I fully agree with the previous posts, it would be very useful to see some selected items from exif on the screen in preview mode, not only in fullscreen.
It seems there are some problems with reading exif of Canon (S1 IS), too much information and difficult to find the necessary one. In order to find iformation about bracketing, I have to use Canon ZoomBrowser (which I don't really like) and then to compare what's XnView showing. Would it be possible to present exif in more friendly way? Thank you.
