Hi Don,

thanks to ->

      status bar.

I only today have realized you have added some major improvements to photo previewing during the last weeks.

Though being truly late(st) to the party, I would like to place some questions.

: FP_PhotoData.png (534.3 KiB) Viewed 3077 times

1. Any chance to configure a border width below 1%?

2. Any chance to give the photo data some sort of emphasis (e.g. a different - customizable

- color)?

3. Any chance to "tweak" to configure the status bar text to be rendered e.g left-justified?

4. Something für FP 3.0: optionally offer the status bar text as an image overlay (left-top, left-bottom, right-top, right-bottom).

<

And finally a cool what-I-never-dared-asking-for one: is there a modifier-based way to open FP straight for a selected image file (e.g. <SHIFT>+<CTRL>+{double LMD})?
</

Thanks.

/e: changed title to better reflect what I'm after

Thanks for this ideas for a possible future.

Just curious: < 1%? You think that looks good?

BTW, FPWhiteBorderShadow is just a toggle: 1 or 0.

Once I've tried, I will tell.

Didn't expect too see a shadow on dark background, anyway.

But good to know. Thanks

And finally a cool what-I-never-dared-asking-for one: is there a modifier-based way to open FP straight for a selected image file (e.g. <SHIFT>+<CTRL>+{double LMD})? - setup a [multipurpose] clickable custom column that runs #178 on image files?

multipurpose because optimally such a column should have other options for other filetypes.

@Filehero: How did you make the FP's status bar span on 2 rows? Mine is always 1 row, thus cropped-off.

Btw, the picture is in Vietnam?

Have you set photo data to be displayed (Ctrl+RightClick | Show Photo Data)?

Yep, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh

FYI, in the recent upload I slightly changed the colors of the dark-grey theme to make the text more readable.

FYI, just found out: the extended context menu can be opened with one hand: Right Ctrl Key + Context Menu Key. The keys are side by side. Pops at the mouse pointer.

Neither tick nor untick "Show Photo Data" work for me.

But your images do have EXIF-data, don't they? I don't see a 2nd row for images w/o EXIFs either.

From the corresponding release notes

Code: Select all

      Of course, photo data are only shown where they exist (EXIF). If no EXIF
      date is found the Modified date of the file is shown, without the © symbol
      so you know whether it's Modified or EXIF date.

That change log quote is outdated by my lightning-fast development.

Facts:
1) You will see only one status row when there are no EXIF data.
2) Modified date is always shown.

Yay, got it. I mistakenly thought that there's 1 lengthy row wrapped into 2.

Yes, I'd like to try a border-width < 1%.

Ok, since it seems your focus is back on pictures...

A few wishes (coming from someone who spends a loooot of time with photos):

My most important wish:

Preloading and caching the next and/or previous photo.
That would be a tremendous speed boost!

a) +1 — I do know that for the reviewing process, I would use a 1 pixel border (or 2 depending on the case/screen).

How about a FPWhiteBorderPixels? (and say, for easier maintenance, border being the addition of Percent and Pixels in case both have a value)
b) With the current % implementation, when switching between portrait and landscape pics in an oblong screen or window, the constant change of border size feels weird... So instead of the % being based on the smaller image dimension,

Could the % be based on image-width if the screen/window is in portrait, and image-height if it's in landscape?

---------------------------

Code: Select all

+++ Photo Preview. Now you can show basic photo data in the Floating Preview's status bar.

Love that one, especially the on-demand popup integration!

Now, we just miss the "Exposure Bias" and "Exposure Program"...

Thanks for listening!
Have a nice day,

Flux

BTW, you sure know already this feature — worthy of a GUI integration imho, I couldn't work without it anymore:
middle-clicking (or two-finger tap) on an image to open its preview (with the CEA_ListMiddleClickOnFile tweak).

For starters I added FPWhiteBorderPixels. Good idea!
