Request: Choose which EXIF-info to show

I feature I wish Imagevue would have is that when displaying the EXIF-info (for example when hovering a fullsize image) I would like to be able to choose which info from the EXIF-info that shall be displayed, for example I might just want to show "Exposure", "Aperture" and "Focal Length".

Is this something that can be done?

Yes, but this requires you to edit one of the imagevue files: iv-includes/include/ivExifParser.class.php

You can just comment- or comment out the properties you want to hide or display.

Keep in mind this file will get overwritten with upgrades, so you will want to backup any changes you make.

Alright, thats a good enough solution for me as for now. If it can be built into settings in a future release that would
ofcourse be awsome ;)

Since there are basically 100s of different items, cascading across several formats (EXIF, XMP, IPTC), all this is stored in 3 files for the different formats, and you will need to edit the files to comment / comment-out the values that you want.

iv-includes/include/ivExifParser.class.php
iv-includes/include/ivIptcParser.class.php
iv-includes/include/ivXmpParser.class.php


We would have made it simpler, but with the amount of items available as you will see, it was not an option to add checkboxes for this in the admin.
