it would be useful to add the main file properties in the status bar, as most other explorers do, for example, size, last save date, file type.

You probably already realize this, if so just ignore me, but you can open the info panel to see all that information (Ctrl+1) on the Properties tab, also File Info Tips can display it on mouse hover, you can even choose what you want to see via,
Configuration | Information | File Info Tips | Show custom file info tips

Thanks Jupe, I have already found and configured everything you told me, I'll explain better with photos ... The info panel is very useful, but in its minimum size, sometimes it is still too large, moreover you have to switch between the various tabs ...

You can freely customize the status bar already with this tweak: StatusBar3OnFile
So for example to add the things you mentioned above, set it to match below (filesize is already shown in the 2nd section):
Code: Select all
StatusBar3OnFile="<curname> - <datem> - <prop System.ItemTypeText>"
for instructions on how to tweak:

If in doubt, the help file is usually a good point to start.

Usually yes - but not if it's a tweak.
For tweaks you often find a short note in XY's .ini file.
Else in the change log, or by searching the forum.

Yes, but the tweak was already given, so now all the OP might be after is a list of XY variables to use in this tweak which can be easily found in the help file.

What's the code to add things such as duration, bitrate, resolution? It would be nice if there was a list somewhere with all these labeled. Thanks.

The help file, especially the command property() lists the inbuilt properties and has a link to the ones from MS...

After replacing lines in the configuration file, the status bar does not change.
(...)
ImageFromClipFormat=
; Tweak: info bar in READ-ONLY instance: Backcolor(RRGGBB);Textcolor(RRGGBB);Text
ReadOnlyBar=
StatusBar3OnFile="<curname> - <datem> - <prop System.ItemTypeText>"
StatusBar3UseTemplate=0
WordBreakers=".:,; _-~(){}[]<>|/\^°*?"!§$%&=+#"
TermSearchResults=
; Tweak: Recycle Bin caption
(...)

No need to tweak. You can do this in Configuration (F9) and there you also see the checkbox to actually enable it: Configuration | Colors and Styles | Templates | Status Bar | Use status bar template

THX!
I'm looking and looking for a dual explorer window layout. Does this also need to be set using procedures?

I can't find these property commands to put in the status bar. I need the property to display the date the photo was taken. What command is this?
