SUMMARY I would like to see the file properties (size, date (as in file system), owner, permissions, ...) while browsing in thumbnail mode or via a link in the info bar in the viewer. File stats as in the Perl docs (should be similar in C/C++): 0 dev device number of filesystem 1 ino inode number 2 mode file mode (type and permissions) 3 nlink number of (hard) links to the file 4 uid numeric user ID of file's owner 5 gid numeric group ID of file's owner 6 rdev the device identifier (special files only) 7 size total size of file, in bytes 8 atime last access time in seconds since the epoch 9 mtime last modify time in seconds since the epoch 10 ctime inode change time in seconds since the epoch (*) 11 blksize preferred I/O size in bytes for interacting with the file (may vary from file to file) 12 blocks actual number of system-specific blocks allocated on disk (often, but not always, 512 bytes each) The additional option for the info block could look similar to "ls -lh": Stats: hugo:users rw-r--r-- 20.01.2008 12.3M or File-Info: ... This would show the fields 4:5, 2, 9 and 7 in human readable form. I added this to the Viewer Component as the implementation there seems to be more straight forward than in Browser or Thumbnail View. The selection dialog for the info to be shown is already there. This is a "nice to have" item :-)
I just had a quick look at this. What about adding file metadata to the EXIF metadata viewer? Like one tab showing the EXIF data and one with the file's metadata? After all, it's all metadata? What do you think?
Adding this to the Meta-Data / Exif-Viewer seems to make sense for me. As the Exif-Viewer/Browser (as seen from the main window) allows for the selection of images this would catch 2 birds with 1 stone. In the Exif-Viewer (as seen from "show exif info" in Thumbnails view), the file meta data could be just another section (maybe on top? as it is a short one).
This was implemented
Sorry for the cut off comment. This feature has been implemented in 5.9.0.
