Show specific XMP tag in information overlay?

Post by Mugros »

I want to see the tag "CreatorTool" from the XMP namespace "xmp" in the overlay. I cannot find a way to do that.
All the XMP preset fields seem to be hard coded.
Or is there a notation to show any field?

Yes, this can easily be done, if you have the Catalog enabled and the "Store Exiftool fields" setting enabled in Settings:Catalog and have ensured your files are scanned using the ""Update Metadata" button. Once the setting is enabled, new files imported into the catalog are automatically scanned.

The parameters displayed by the Info overlay in the Viewer are defined in Tools->Settings:View:Info

You can display that particular tag by inserting: {Exiftool:CreatorTool}

For more information on displaying arbitrary metadata fields, see my documentation post .
