The resolution of the videos is not displayed on the icon view #2977

Open collector-ynh opened 2 years ago

collector-ynh commented 2 years ago

On Nemo, When I want to display the resolution of a video from the column view, I select the column "Image Size" and it works fine.

But when I do the same in icon view it shows "unknown" instead of resolution.

How to solve this problem and show the resolution in icon view?

leigh123linux commented 2 years ago

I believe the nemo extension only works for list veiw.

collector-ynh commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to fix this?

I believe the nemo extension only works for list veiw.

In that case it's a nemo bug - the categories added by nemo-media columns shouldn't be selectable in the icon view preferences if they don't work.

Two things wrong - a) it's not working at all, b) even if it was, it's a global preference, not a per-folder one (like the list view is).

Since this is an option in the "list settings", why would you expect anything to be shown in icon view?

The inconnu/unknown icon text is surely incorrect?

We need to be able to view the resolution of the videos in icon mode, it should be a priority. And in my opinion it's not that difficult, so get to work and make it work in icon mode.That's why the community makes donations to you.

That's why the community makes donations to you.

Donations are not fuel to make developers do your specific bidding. We do this work because we want to. Consider: did donations get this project going in the first place? No, a few people started working on it because they felt like it. Donations help pay for servers and other costs, to show appreciation for work already done and to encourage further development. If you feel otherwise, you should find another community.

And in my opinion it's not that difficult,

Pull requests are welcome.

@Jeremy7701 The bug is that these extra column names show up in preferences->Display->Icon Captions. Getting them to actually work similarly to the list view (per-folder configuration of these captions) is a feature request, and not simple.

If you really, really need this:- Why not just process a folder and for each file:- extract screen size (using mediainfo) and append this info to your filename?

Try mediainfo --Inform="Video;%Width% x %Height%" name_of_some_video_file to obtain the dimensions.

It's very long and not fast enough for thousands of videos, that's why the developers have integrated the resolution in mode list, but they forgot about the built-in icon mode.

I just saw that it's been since 2013 that the community has been waiting for this feature, I am sure that it can be done quickly, thank you for taking a few minutes of your time to update the extension, so that compatible with icon mode.
