Jpg EXIF information in a bubble on hover

Post by *BullFrog »

Is it possible to show the EXIF information of a JPG file (ISO, etc) when I hover the mouse over the file? It already says what machine did I use...but nothing else.

Yes it is possible.
You just need a content plugin like ImageMetaData or Exif to read the EXIF info.

Next you add the info to the tooltip:
1.Use "Configuration - Options - Display"
2. Enable option "Show filename in filelist" and all suboptions
3. Define your extra EXIF fields by pressing the [+] button on the far right.

Thanks that's what I was looking for! Works great for mp3 files too :) do you know some kind of collection of these tooltip regexps?
