File Windows Tip based on Variables

Hello everybody
We can do with the File Window Tip a lot, see e.g. the attachements.

But not every file has the same tags, what are interesting for us.
For a music file and a photo file, we're interested in other things; the length of the music file does not matter in the photo file, as an example.

Hence we can even create different Tags for different Formats.
We can choose "Music-Tags" for the format MP3 and "phototags" for jpgs or Raws. And so on.

That is cool. Because if you hoover over the "i"-Icon, IMatch displays in this cases not the same result.
If it is a mp3 IMatch will show the mp3-tags (what you have designed) and the photo-tags for a nef.

But if you work with different photographers or if the files are differently tagged, it looks not always very good.
If you create for example carefully a File Window Tip for your Raw in IMatch, it looks great.

But if you import new raws that are not yet edited with tags, then that looks weird.
The same is true for pdfs or Word files, which are tagged completely differently depending on the field of application.

Hence my FR for such situations:
I ask the same behaviour like different formats (like it is now), but for using variables to say IMatch, what design it should display.


If this would be possible, I could create a layout for completely new images, because I could use a variables, what would let IMatch decide, what Design it should show.
Or I would create different layouts for pdfs, because some pdfs are e.g. from a financial institution, another comes from a scientic company.

Or also jpgs from different people are differently tagged. With a variable I could say e.g "if a jpg comes from Peter, then show me this and that, if it comes from Julian, show me something else."

As usual of course: If that is too complicated to implement or too few people interested: forget it.  8)
