Media File Information (in Properties and in File List)

Post by medder »

What about adding feature of viewing not only system file properties but also media-specific file properties?
Especially with opportunity to customize file columns in Details View with needed fields? Windows Explorer (sorry for reminding) supports it.

For example:
- dimensions (and orientation!) and some EXIF data for image files;
- duration, resolution, bitrate, and codec for video files;
- some extra information for audio files, using ID3 tag for MP3, and other metadata in WM, MP4, FLAC, APE files;
- number of pages, author, etc. for text documents (doc, rtf, and maybe pdf, djvu, etc).

All that will be very useful when organizing media folders. And this ability will combine useful features of many progs like ACDSee (for images), gSpot (useful utility in K-Lite Pack for building report of video files properties), etc.

And after adding feature of saving Folder View for separate folders (thank you for that!) this feature won't slow the process of browsing files.

Currently we can see following for video files
- resolution
- length
- video fps - but only for some video formats.
- complete video preview playback

Still using Media Info for complete video format details [works for me].
But if codec info , fps , video stream[detail] , audio stream [detail] etc are added it would be great.
