PhotoMechanic6- Sidebar info panel

[aforbes]

I am using the legacy photomechanic and somehow lost my ability to see metadata on photos. When I click the images, I normally see time, date, camera setting etc. I use this to help see images chronologically but also to sync. This panel now just says image file name. How do I get this back? I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and still have the issue. I attached a screenshot.

Amanda,

I am using the legacy photomechanic and somehow lost my ability to see metadata on photos. When I click the images, I normally see time, date, camera setting etc. I use this to help see images chronologically but also to sync. This panel now just says image file name.

It's likely that you can't restore it since something unknown has replaced it.  But you can make it list all of the information that you want to see.  Go to the Edit->Settings->Set Info Text... item and a window should appear.  I expect that yours looks like this:

Code: [Select]


{filename}

Mine looks like this:

Code: [Select]

Filename: {filename}
Date: {date}
Time: {time}
Latitude: {glat}
Longitude: {glon}
Make: {make}
Model: {modl}
Serial #: {snum}
Firmware: {firm}
Frame #: {fnum}
Lens (mm): {lens}
ISO: {iso}
Aperture: {f}
Shutter: {shut}
Exp. Comp.: {comp}
Flash Comp.: {fcmp}
Program: {prgm}
Focus Mode: {fmod}
White Bal.: {baln}
ICC Profile: {icc}
Contrast: {tone}
Sharpening: {shrp}
Quality: {qlty}

You can use the Variables... button to bring up the Variables panel that lists all of the variables that you can use in the Info Text.

HTH,
