Package: geeqie
Version: 1.0~alpha3-1
Severity: wishlist
The EXIF properties available under "Preferences/Properties" have
three modes: "always show the property", "show only if set", "never
show". There are far more EXIF properties than those available in
this Preferences page, especially the optional and maker-specific
ones, that have only two display modes: "on" and "off". These would
benefit greatly from a "Show only if set" option. Indeed, that could
perhaps be the default behaviour--I can't think of why the optional
and camera-specific tags would ever need to be shown even when not
set.
For example, I shoot with a Nikon SLR, and so I always want to see
what lens I used on my shots ("Image-Specific": "Lens Type" and
"Lens"). But these properties don't exist on point-and-shoot shots,
or shots from non-Nikon-SLR friends, etc... and the blank fields are
ugly. If I also had another brand SLR, I'd request those fields too,
and they might be called something slightly different. So I'd see,
perhaps "Lens: ___" and "Lens Series: Canon 18-55mm" in every shot,
which is needlessly cluttered. Indeed, "Lens: ___" and the other
fields I picked out make for quite some clutter when viewing shots
from P&S cameras for which none of those fields is available.
Thanks for a really excellent piece of software!
