Videos: Missing information in thumbnail labels

I have some MP4 files. I set a custom label in Settings > Thumbnail > Labels to "{Folder} {Size KB}". Images in the same directory show the information, but the videos do not. {Width} and {Height} also don't work for videos. I can understand that that information may be harder to get, but {Folder} and {Size KB} should be no harder to get than for any other file.
In addition it would be nice to get a {Duration} label element to display the length of the video.

Dang! I put this in the wrong place. Is there a way to move this post to the New Bugs forum?

Thumbnail.Labels for images are available in a widely configurable way and are perfect for a quick informed overview.
So the missing info labels for Videos are a very hard thing

Would it be possible to add them?
At the moment I have to right-click and choose Properties -
and scroll down to see duration, frame rate and frame width, height etc
So if this File properties are already available on the systems file API-level,
it should be possible to fetch them relatively easy?
By the way:
I am using XnView for a long time now.
And its one of the very rare pieces of software
which are developed in a constantly improving matter.
Please keep going in this phantastic way!

I found that {Directory} works for videos, but only if I follow it with {Filename with Ext}. Looks like there is a bug. With just {Directory} nothing shows in the label.
Thanks for all the great work!
