======== Editor command macros [section:editors]
Editors are configured via standard desktop files, see
https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/geeqie/wiki/GuideEditorsConfig
======== Overlay Info [section:overlay]
Overlay info format string syntax is: %tag[:max_length][:extra]%
%name% Filename of the picture.
%collection% Name of the collection
%number% Current number of image in the list
%total% Total number of images
%date% File date
%size% File size
%width% Image width
%height% Image height
%res% Image resolution
%keywords% Image keywords from metadata
%comment% Image comment from metadata
To access exif data use the exif name:
%Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal% Date of the original shot
Pre-formatted exif data is also available:
formatted.Camera Camera and sofware name
formatted.DateTime Image Date
formatted.ShutterSpeed Shutter speed in seconds (ie. 1/60s)
formatted.Aperture Aperture (ie. f5.6)
formatted.ExposureBias Exposure bias (ie. +0.3)
formatted.ISOSpeedRating ISO sensitivity (ie. 100)
formatted.FocalLength Focal length
formatted.FocalLength35mmFilm Focal length 35mm
formatted.SubjectDistance Subject distance
formatted.Flash Flash
formatted.Resolution Resolution
formatted.ColorProfile Color profile
formatted.GPSPosition GPS position
formatted.GPSAltitude GPS altitude
You can limit the length of displayed data using :number notation:
%formatted.Camera:20% will truncate the displayed data to 20 characters
and will add 3 dots at the end to denote the truncation.
If two or more variables are connected with the |-sign, it prints available
variables with a separator:
%formatted.ShutterSpeed%|%formatted.ISOSpeedRating%|%formatted.FocalLength%
could show:
"1/20s - 400 - 80 mm"
or
"1/200 - 80 mm" if there's no ISO information in the Exif data.
If a line is empty, it is removed.
This allows one to add lines that totally disappear when no data is available.
Extra string uses special character '*' to mark the position of the data.
If no '*' is present, then extra string is just appended to data.
Any "\n" is replaced by a newline on display.
Pango mark up is accepted in left and right parts.
If data is empty, nothing will be displayed.
Examples:
"%name:*\n%" -> name is displayed in italics ended with a newline
"%size:\n%" -> size is displayed with a newline at end
"%formatted.ISOSpeedRating:ISO *%" -> ie. "ISO 100"
"%collection: Collection *\n%" -> display collection name in bold prefixed by
"Collection " and a newline is appended
