"EXIF Thumbnauk - Rebuild" button to work also when selecting non-image Items

Post by sx090 »

Hi there,

I work with mixed folders of images + videos for all my vacations sorted by date.

Usually what I do is: I select ALL files and rotate based on EXIF orientation (which WORKS even while selecting an MP4 / MOV file along the way), and sometimes if the images are already pre-rotated, I still use the function to rebuild EXIF thumbnails.

The latter does NOT work when selecting elements which don't support EXIF thumbnails, e.g. movies.

Would it be possible to make the "thumbnail rebuild" also work with mixed selections (maybe with a small hint that the action is obviously ONLY applied to supported formats, i.e. images, not videos)?

Thank you so much for your consideration!
