Hello,

Thanks @FrankBijnen for amazing job continuing with this version of ExifToolGui. I would like to know if you considered to include option to show all files not only on the selected folder but subfolders as well. I know can be more resource consuming but ability to handle and see all metadata once will be huge step folder from the original project.

Thank you,

Thanks for your opinion on this version!

The question has been asked before. https://github.com/FrankBijnen/ExifToolGui/issues/246 It would involve a lot of work. The problem is that the ShellTree (Tree of folders) ShellList (List of the Files) are now 'standard' Embarcadero controls, with some additions. These controls only work as they work right now. And it's not easy to modify that.

But I will think about it (again)

Frank

Sorry for opening another ticket, I just searched for open ones, not closed... But I do agree with @AngusPhoe by adding this functionality will be game changer covering all features needed. As he showed, geosetter have this functionality implemented but limited in comparison with exiftoolgui possibilities (no videos and limited file types...) Thank you for hearing us again :)
