Info text / drag and drop to folders

[hilmartor]

Hi,

1. When in Preview I get this as H/W of the photo:
Size: 1869 x 1791
Resolution: 300 pixels/inch
Filesize: 3.4MB

Is it possible to have the H/W in cm?

------------------------

Is it not possible to drag and drop photos from desktop or other into a folder in PM. When trying to do this nothing happens. I can drop into the main window when the folder is selected but not in any other folders in the folder tree.

Did you set the "Resolution units:" preference to "pixels per cm" in the Files tab of the Preferences dialog?

It works for me.  I just dragged a file from a folder in the Finder to a folder in the Favorites pane.  It was copied immediately and appeared as an image in the Contact Sheet I was viewing.

Yes it is set that way. I would like to get this: Size: 1869 x 1791 to be 18.69 cm X 17.91 cm, is that possible at all?

Any solution to this. To have it as 18 cm X 19 cm in info?

The variables you're using are just pixel values.  To do what you want, we would have to add two new variables that would use the image's current DPI/CM and convert the width and height into the preferred units.

Hi,

I would like cm instead of pixels. Can I do that somehow?

No.  I need to add new variables for you.  Until then there is no solution that I can think of.

Hi Kirk,

Ok thanks. Will it be in the next version then?

No promises, but probably.

I talked to Dennis about this and he reminded me that there are variables that already do this very thing:

{printsize}
{printsizecms}
{printsizeinches}

I think {printsizecms} will fit your needs well.

Thanks Kirk,

It actually does the trick!
