Show date taken in bottom status bar?

[rick7]

When I click on a thumbnail to open up a photo (non-fullscreen), is there a way to display the "date [and time] taken" in the bottom status bar? I see the file date only.

(I do see the date taken when I mouse over the thumbnail, but once I double-click to open it, it's not available in the status bar.)

See Appendix A in the Help File

By default, all date/time placeholders deliver full text including date and time. If you want to get only specific values, you can use additional placeholder options (ANSI C function: strftime):

%Y - year, 4 numbers
%y - year, 2 numbers (00-99)
%m - month
%d - day
%H - hour
%M - minute
%S - second
%a - short weekday name
%A - full weekday name
%b - short month name
%B - full month name
Examples for file, EXIF or system date: Year: 2005, month: 11, day: 29
Placeholder Result text
$T(%d.%m.%Y) 29.11.2005
$T(%Y%m%d) 20051129
$T(%d%m%y) 291105
$E36868(%Y_%m_%d) 2005_11_29
$T(%d_%m_%Y) 29_11_2005
$T(day:%d, month:%m, year: %Y)

You can set the status bar display in the properties (see attached screen shot).

In particular the Exif for date taken can vary between camera types. Click on the HELP button for details.

Here is my setting with a GPS-Camera:

$P ($p dpi, $B bit) $T(%a).; $E306(%d.%m.%Y); Zeit: $E33434, Blende: $E33437, ISO: $E34855; $E272; GPS: $E499 H: $E406
