Du Fuchs, Du. :mrgreen:

Well to answer your question: In an initial stage, yes.
"Problem": I have plenty of space in the meta tab to display more exif attributes. How can I configure them?

Just to give a clue how I'm using it.

From now on: My file manager is also my filesystem image browser, already deinstalled the previous ones. Great. :) :appl:

Just for a test I changed the background color to grey, me likes - and makes me think how nice it would be to have this setting become a local one saveable with a folder view setting. :whistle:

Nice shot. The screenshot and the shot in the screenshot.

Conc. the grey, what about simply making the background color for Thumbnails Views configurable?

Thanks. :)

BTW, Aero Snap is one of those things why I consider Win 7 the best windows ever.

Note also: Using Configuration | Colors & Styles | Mirror tree box color in file list you can have folder-specific background colors in tree and list already now.

I have to confess never tried that before. :oops:

TextPad has some additional expressions available when doing regex replacements; one of which is sequence numbers.
TextPad's Help wrote:How to Generate Sequence Numbers
You can update or insert sequence numbers in a file, using replacement expressions. This is achieved using the Replace dialog box, with the Regular Expression box checked.

The syntax of the replacement expression is:

Expression: Effect:
\i Replace with numbers starting from 1, incrementing by 1.
\i(10) Replace with numbers starting from 10, incrementing by 1.
\i(0,10) Replace with numbers starting from 0, incrementing by 10.
\i(100,-10) Replace with numbers starting from 100, decrementing by -10.


Examples:
To insert line numbers at the start of each line:
Search for:^
Replace with:\i
To update sequence numbers of the form Axxx, Bxxx, … ,Zxxx where "xxx" is any number >= 100, independent of the letters, which are to be preserved:
Search for:\([A-Z]\)[1-9][0-9][0-9]+
Replace with:\1\i(100)
So after doing a Copy All Items from XY and pasting in TextPad, I did a find '^' and replace with '\i(0)\t' on the selected properties.

Ah, thanks.

(I recently was tempted to add "Include Line Numbers" to my lists' right-click menu. An overkill, probably.)

I was just looking for a way to verify some specific EXIF tags that weren't showing up correctly in my custom columns.
While XYplorer’s built-in metadata handling is great once you have the columns scripted, I’ve been using this simple viewer- https://www.thetoolapp.com/exif-data-viewer/ whenever I just need to double-check a raw file's metadata without messing with my current layout settings. It’s a nice "sanity check" tool to have in the bookmarks.
By the way, if anyone is still struggling with the column scripts mentioned earlier in the thread, make sure you have the "Metadata" property handlers enabled in your Windows shell, otherwise XY sometimes has trouble pulling the tags!

Or you just output everything in XY via

Code: Select all

        $cmd = "<xydrive>\Tools\@CLI Tools\exiftool\exiftool.exe";
        text runret("""$cmd"" ""<curitem>"""), 970, 800;
...
