Focus Point Display

Hi,

Is there any way to overlay the focus point for an image when it's being viewed full-screen. For my Panasonic cameras ExifTool reports a value called "AF Point Position" which is the X,Y coordinates of the primary focus point (e.g. "0.47 0.77"). It would be relatively easy to display a little green square or similar at this point.

If this is already a feature please tell me how to access it.

If this is not already a feature, then there are a couple of options:
  • Please can I add it as a feature request
  • I would be happy to look at developing a plugin for this if the plugin SDK will support it
Thanks
Andrew

Thanks, Pierre.

I've added it as a suggested feature.

Is there any sort of a "hook" that fires (e.g. a way to call an external program or plugin) when the active file in fullscreen mode changes? If so I could build a "watcher" that overlays the focus point separately. Is there any way to do this?
