Description Hans-Peter 2014-12-30 21:17:24 UTC
In the main window,  on the right side meta date for a selected pic can be shown. Amongst "Exif", IPTC" and "XMP" it also shows some vendor specific data "Herstellerbemerkungen". 

This tab for vendor specific extensions shows a lot of camera models which are not relevant and have only non-available tags. E.g. for a Fujifilm JPG, also several Canon, Minolta and other sections are shown, and all fields of these sections are "not available".

Please show only the tags which really have info for the selected pic.

Reproducible: Always

If you want to filter metadata viewer contents, just use metadata tags filter from Setup Config panel, into Metadata section.

Yes, but if you have pics from different vendors, you would have to change the setup every time for every pic which is from a different vendor like the previous one. My proposal is to simply automatically mask out all tags which are empty (or not there because they belong to a different vendor or cam model) and thus automatically show only the vendor specific data from the actual pic.
Using the setup is really a different issue. For examply i want to see some entries for Sony pics, and i want to see some for Canon or Fuji. But then the meta data tab always shows all Sony/Canon/Fuji entries, no matter which cam you use. You can't solve this via setup. Or did i miss something?

Ah, shame on me - i always looked into the global setup menu. When using "No filter" or "Fotografie" setting in the meta info tab itself, everything behaves as i expected. Only the "User Def" setting showed what i described above.

Thanks Gilles.
