Customize Displayed Thumbnail Information

3DBrowser Light Edition / Image Edition / for 3D Users

3DBrowser has several display modes. You can switch from one mode to another using View / View menu. You can also use Ctrl+Mouse wheel to cycle from one mode to another. In this tutorial we will look at the way to customize the Custom display from the View / View menu.

Here is what we want to display...	...we can also add colors!

So let's go:

1. Select View / View / Custom display mode. Open Edit / Preferences (Alt+P) dialog.
2. Click on the Custom Display tab. This dialog allows you to edit the information displayed for 4 kind of files: Images / 3D / Audio and Others files
3. Select Images Files from the drop down menu. Now, we will edit the information to display for the image files.
4. Click in the edit area and edit or copy the following text:

   <tagifexist><brttitle><tagendifexist>
   <tagifexist>
   Subject: <brtsubject>
   < tagendifexist>
   < tagifexist>
   Author: <brtauthor>
   < tagendifexist>
   < tagifexist>
   Category: <brtcategory>
   < tagendifexist>

   <tagifexist>Info: <bmapfocallength> (<bmapexposuretime>)<tagendifexist>
   Size: <brtfilename(size)>
   Date: <brtfilename(lastwritedate(d))>

   Here is an analysis of this script:

<tagifexist><brttitle><tagendifexist>	<brttitle> tag is in the Tags / Files - Description / Title menu. <brttitle> will be replaced by the title information you can edit for each file. Look at How to edit file's title and description? <tagifexist> and <tagendifexist> are in the Conditional tags menu. Thanks to these tags the line is displayed only if a title has been edited.
<tagifexist> Subject: <brtsubject> <tagendifexist> <tagifexist> Author: <brtauthor> < tagendifexist> < tagifexist> Category: <brtcategory> < tagendifexist>	<brtsubject>, <brtauthor>, <brtcategory> tags are in the Tags / Files - Description menu. These tags will be replaced by the subject, author and category fields of the Information panel (F7). Look at How to edit file's title and description? for more information. Thanks to <tagifexist> and <tagendifexist> tags the lines are displayed only if information has been edited.
<tagifexist>Info: <bmapfocallength> (<bmapexposuretime>)<tagendifexist>	Tags can be found in Tags / Images / Camera & shooting conditions This displays the focal length and exposure time information, which are contained in the EXIF information created by your digital camera.
Size: <brtfilename(size)> Date: <brtfilename(lastwritedate(d))>	Tags can be found in Tags / Files - Description It displays the file size and modified time. This information always exists and you don't have to insert conditional tags.

5. Click OK and look at the results in the main window display.
