Video thumbnails gallery - few improvements

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.6.1 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


Video thumbnails gallery
few main points:
- inconvenient to save galleries for multiple files
- no way to change text size in timecode
- difficult to read timecode when its color matches color of content

Suggestion

Layout / Size
  • add Sheet/Thumbnail width selector (via combobox or radio button)
    so its possible to set desired thumbnails size
Information (File info)
  • rework into free entry textbox
    color=#808080](same as Settings>View>Info[/color]
    • with out HTML tags

      Code: Select all

      Filename: {Filename}
      File size: {Size KB} KiB
      Resolution: {Width}x{Height}
      Duration: {Duration [H:M:S]}
      Video: {VideoCodec} (VideoCodecProfile), {VideoBitrate} Mb/s, {FPS}fps
      Audio: {AudioCodec} (AudioCodecProfile, {AudioBitrate} kb/s, {AudioSampleRate}Hz, {AudioChannels}channels ({AudioStreams})
      
    • with HTML tags

      Code: Select all

      <style>.label {white-space:nowrap;color:rgb(90,90,90)} .value {word-wrap:break-word; white-space:pre-wrap} .accent {color:rgb(0,0,0)}</style><table table-layout=fixed width=100% height=100% border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2><tr><td width=60 align=right class=label>Filename
      File size
      Resolution
      Duration
      Video
      Audio</td><td align=right class=label>:
      :
      :
      :
      :
      :</td><td class=value>{Filename}
      {Size KB} KiB
      {Width}x{Height}
      {Duration [H:M:S]}
      {VideoCodec} (VideoCodecProfile), {VideoBitrate} Mb/s, {FPS}fps
      {AudioCodec} (AudioCodecProfile, {AudioBitrate} kb/s, {AudioSampleRate}Hz, {AudioChannels}channels ({AudioStreams})</td></tr></table>
      
  • add video/audio tags
    - codec, profile
    - resolution
    - subtitles, etc
  • unify Spacing (Margin)
    - apply same Spacing around Thumbnails and Information block
    to make the overall look more uniform
Background
  • add Watermark
Timecode
  • improve text controls
    - add Outline to make text visible on content of the same color
    - add Position
Output
  • add Output folder and filename/format controls (like in Batch convert)
    to improve batch video thumbnails creation
