Is my memory failing me? I have this recollection that when I'm using a file browser and select an image (jpg or gif ...) and right-clock and choose 'Properties' that some of the information is about the image size, height and width.
This doesn't seem to happen with current Konqueror or Dolphin.
Is my memory failing me?
So I turn to the command line. I run 'file' and I get " JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.02" Oh, right, I need "JPEG image data, EXIF standard 2.2, baseline, precision 0, 4360x1200"
But why can't I get this latter information in the file browsers?
So I open the images. Lets take that 4360x1200 one.
Gwenview's sidebar says its 1200x1600. (actually gwenview even works on those that 'file' was silent about their dimensions)
Gimp says its 1200x1600, but then gimp is a heavyweight.
XV has a pop-up that says its 1200x1600, but only when you activate the pop-up
Okular file->properties says "no document opened". I can't find anything about dimensions elsewhere.
GQView edit->properties gives dimensions, size, compression and more
So, if its not that I'm pointing out shortcomings of KDE$, and I hope its not just that, why are the browsers not handing back this info under 'properties' as I seem to recall from the past, and why is 'file' incorrectly reporting size on that big jpg?
Or is it that my memory of these capabilities is incorrect? So I check my other machine running a 2007 mandriva and, no, the browsers show file sizes there.
Anton, In KDE 3 -- it depends. I have never understood it. Some files it gives me the image dimensions, others I have to open the image in another application to find out. Obviously, it has something to do with the file information, but I don't know enough about jpeg or png headers to know why? I'll test in 11.1 Beta 5, but right know image size readout is the least of its worries .... I'll put being able to simple add an application menu to the task bar up a bit higher. -- David C.
