[EXIFTOOL] why not add in INFO>>Setting?

[manuel_songokuh]

hi

i see that xnviewmp use EXIF,IPTC,XMP...but wht not use EXIFTOOL ?

EXIFTOOL(exif,makernotes) so i need add my custom in INFO (setting)..so xnviewmp has not this feature WITH INFO..instead has EXIFTOOL WITH PROPRIETIES..

i wish to ask Author of XnView:

EXIFTOOL will add information to INFO will be hard job codes?

[xnview]

you would like to edit EXIF?

[manuel_songokuh]

you would like to edit EXIF?

not, i wish add information in INFO by exiftool:
LENS ID, FOCUS MODE, ETC, ETC..

see example my custom in INFO:

i see xnviewmp i can't add parameter from exiftool, EXIF,Makernotes, etc)

In your screenshot, the "Info" shown in view mode is linked to Tools>Settings>View>Info (you can use I key to toggle shown/hidden info in view mode)
In this settings screen you can edit the informations shown and add many exif fields by using the black arrow at the bottom right of the large field.

"Information panel" with iptc, xmp, exif, exiftool tabs is something different, used to show these informations in browser mode.
You can get the same panel with a right click>Properties on a photo in view mode. This one is easy to resize

YES, correct INFO from setting>>view..info

In this settings screen you can edit the informations shown and add many exif fields by using the black arrow at the bottom right of the large field.

yes but there are not: EXIFTOOL in FIELDS...this is missing EXIFTOOL...

this is from PROPERTIES, i don't like this because every time I have to do too many click click clicks, it bothers me a lot and makes me nervous = huge waste of time

so

if xnviewmp will add EXIFTOOL in FIELDS to setting>view>info = faster show me info in View..absolute faster..

EXIFTOOL is missing in FIELDS see picutre:

ExifTool is not the name of metadata fields, it's a (great) software that can edit or show almost all metadata ...

XnViewMp provides already about 70 Exif fields , and its sometimes possible to call some exif fields withe their number, such as :

{EXIF:x010F} displays exif Manufacturer
{EXIF:x110} displays exif Model
{EXIF:x112} displays exif orientation
but with {EXIF:x10B} i can't see anything

Which fields do you need to be displayed ?

oh this is interessing, but where is documentation for to find other parameter?
example i wish add LENS ID, FOCUS MODE, how convert in NUMBER????

[michel038]

Maybe here , 1st column "Tag ID" :
https://exiftool.org/TagNames/EXIF.html

Oops, with EXIF uppercase : x lower case and 4 digits
{EXIF:x010F} displays exif Manufacturer
{EXIF:x0110} displays exif Model
{EXIF:x0112} displays exif orientation

It's been a long time since I've used this knowledge, and I've forgotten a lot.
I believe that XnviewMP can only display fields that are already present in menus lists, not fields that are "unknown" in it's own environment
It seems that exif makernotes fields are tricky, i don't understand anything about this ( https://exiftool.org/makernote_types.html )

[manuel_songokuh]

ok i read documentation.. but i find confusing..see here examples


{EXIF:x010f} displays exif Manufacturer from EXIFTOOL = works: NIKON
{EXIF:Make} displays exif Manufacturer from XNVIEWMP = works: NIKON

{EXIF:Model}displays exif Model from XNVIEWMP = works: D7500
{EXIF:0x0110}displays exif Model from EXIFTOOL = not works: (nothing...)

other thing:
(from properties), (tab) EXIFTOOL, i want "LENS ID" group composite.

(from view), INFO: i find in fields: "LENSID" group EXIF but in parameter is:
{META:LensID} -->> works... but

why use word "META" not EXIF...??

in web documentation of EXIFTOOL Tags: {EXIF:0xa432} -->> not works XNVIEWMP... this is for LENS INFO.. maybe same to {META:LensID}..

but why XNVIEWMP has not documentation for configure it in EXIF, EXIFTOOL, etc..??

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

PS....I previously posted same to bug closed topics by mistake

[manuel_songokuh]

to Administrator: please this topic will moves to "Closed/Resolved"

because it is added new feature:EXIFTOOL IN INFO, version: 1.8.2

thank you
