Request to add an orientation column

Post by yosi_tz »

In the main XnView - [Browser …] I have the following column:
Name, Size, Properties, Type.
Many many times I need to sort a set of images by orientation, landscape and portrait. I don’t see a way to do it.
Can you, please, consider my suggestion and add it soon

Thanks a lot
Yosi Tz

in the info bar at the bottom, next to the image dimension you have the aspect ratio (most of the time a decimal number between 0 and 2, but it could be any non-negative decimal)

the aspect ratio tells you the orientation.
if it's > 1 then the image is horizontal
if it's between 0 and 1, then the image is vertical
if it's 1, the image is square

To sort by orientation, go into browser mode, then click on the AZ button (that means sorting), then click on ratio.
The sort by ratio button from the menu bar doesn't work (known bug).

Oh blah789,
Thank you so much for your answer.
It save me much time to get the job done.
I am ashamed I didn’t notice it by myself/
Keep on the good work
