Browser - thumbnail - overlay icon - add multipage/video/audio indicator

[user0]

XnViewMP 1.6.1 64bit
Windows11 (23H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

Browser - thumbnail - overlay icon
there is no overlay indicator to visually separate plain images and multipage/video/audio files

Suggestion

duration_indicators.png

• add duration indicator
  • file types
    video/audio
    ##:##
    
    images
    • generalized
      # P - all multipage files
    • detailed
      # P - multipage
      # F - multiframe
      # L (optional) - multilayer (eg .psd)
  • appearance (see lr example)
    - bg - 24px height black, 70% opacity
    - text - #DCDCDC color
  • location
    - bottom left corner, on the same level with bottom overly icons (by default)
    it looks fine with Dark theme, but not 100% sure about Default/Light theme

Example

• multipage file
  test_img.zip
  • FastStone
    fs_multipage.png

• video / audio
  video_thumb.png

I don't use multipage file and don't use MP for audio files.
But for video files the ability to see the duration is very useful. Sometimes I have to open video files in an external player to check the duration.
The definition (e.g. 1280x720) of the video file would also be useful, but maybe I'm asking too much.

The main reason why multipage/frame/layer, video/audio files are mentioned here - duration indicator shall be unified (appearance and position).
So, no matter what media it is, you will have same looking duration indicator in bottom left corner by default.

The definition (e.g. 1280x720) of the video file would also be useful, but maybe I'm asking too much.

I think it's better to place it in a label either
- using updated {Width}, {Height} tags that can also read video files OR
- using new tags (but without conditional functionality 'x' between them will be always visible).

Yes! I inserted into the labels "{Width} x {Height} - {DPI} @{Bpp} {Size KB} kb", but it only works with images. In video labels, the label remains empty.
I included the same thing in the tooltips and in fullscreen info. If it worked for video/audio/etc, that would be great.

ok, so duration for video/audio file. And for multipage?

ok, so duration for video/audio file. And for multipage?

guess there are 2 options for multi-page/frame/layer files:

• generalized
  - # P - for all of them

• detailed
  - # P - multipage
  - # F - multiframe
  - # L (optional) - multilayer (eg .psd)

generalized is fine, the only reason I added detailed - because Viewer use '# page/layer' naming in status bar for such files

ps: I have updated pictures in the first post
