Rob,

Use Set Info Text... from the Edit menu.  Put the following into the text:

Actuations: {act}

Kirk,

I Added Actuations: {act} to the Set Info Text list and still can't see shutter actuations in the Info Box.
I'm using PM 4.4.3.3 and Windows XP Professional (Svc Pack2).

Any idea why it's not showing up?

Thanks,
Tom

Not all cameras put that information into their images.  What camera do you have?

Nikon D2Hs.  But now I feel like an idiot!  I clicked in the Info Box, then scrolled down (with my mouse wheel) and sure enough, the actuations are there.  It wasn't obvious to me at first, as there appears to be no way to resize the Info Box (ie, drag the lower boundary downward to see more entries), and I don't believe there's a scroll bar for just the Info Box which I'd expect to see if the number of entries in the Info Box exceeds what's visible.  I'll probably just eliminate another entry I'm less interested in, so scrolling for each image won't be necessary.  Or, maybe a larger monitor is the answer.

Anyway, I'm all set.

Thanks,
Tom

In the Preview window, there are two buttons with a + and a - on them right next to the words "Info Text".  Clicking on the + makes it taller, clicking on the - makes it shorter.

Thanks, Kirk.  I see now that I just didn't have the whole panel wide enough.  By making it wider I am now able to see the +/- buttons AND the scroll bar I thought was missing.  My fault - thanks again.
