Show Exiftool on browser Preview pane [Solved]

Post by Orfanomondo »

How do I get Exiftool back below my Preview pane on the Browser? It disappeared, and now I only have three info options:
Info, Categories and Category Sets. I can't find a setting in Browser Columns or Metadata. See the screenshot, bottom-right corner.

As far as I know, Exiftool is only available via the "Info panels."

So, first, click on the "Info" tab. Is it there?

If not, Click View > Info panels and make sure both "Exiftool" and "Use tabs" are checked.

You can revert to one of the default layouts by selecting one from View->Layout if you're lost in configuring your layout. Custom Layouts can be saved in presets by adding the Layout menu (cmd_LayoutM) to the toolbar in Settings:Interface:Toolbar

You can enable/disable the Information Panel with View->Panels

Visibility of individual info panels, like the Exiftool tab, is selected in View->Info Panels. Enable the "Use tabs" option to show the info panels as tabs.


Hopefully this helps...
