Layouts (Tags Vs. Custom Template)

[Darius1968]

So, with respect to Thumbnail Layouts: 

In the 1st case, I have "Footer 1 left" set to display a Tag (Shutter Speed, Composite\Exif::ShutterSpeed\ShutterSpeed\0.  All works fine! 

In the 2nd case, I have "Footer 1 left" set to display a "Custom Template" ({File.MD.Composite\ShutterSpeed\ShutterSpeed\0} at).  Here, nothing at all displays for the metadata tag.  "at" is displayed as expected.  How do I get the metadata to display?

If I replace your variable with
{File.MD.Composite\Exif::ShutterSpeed\ShutterSpeed\0}

from the normal "Tag Selector", than it works fine.
Your variable works not, must be wrong.

Thanks for that, Markus. 
I could have sworn that in the first place, I had simply selected the tag for shutter speed directly from the Tag Selector, but making sure I did the 2nd time around worked!  (And, I can see, the tag I got on the 2nd try was different!)
Okay, so now, I'm trying to figure out how to display the Raw value (which is what I now have & want), but expressed in greater decimal places (0.008, instead of 0.01, for example).  Any clues?

Hi Darius

Not, sorry, I have no idea, how to achieve this (with 3 numbers behind the point).

The help writes this:

Shutterspeed has a data type of real (a floating point number) so the value returned by IMatch will be 0.01 (rounded from 0.00625) using the numeric format as defined in the Windows Control Panel.


Hence I guess, we cannot see 3 numbers, but of course I do not know.

Well, what you've quoted here, I've already read, but thanks for your input and for trying.

Markus, I just found a solution to the problem, on that same page: 

{File.MD.Composite\ShutterSpeed\ShutterSpeed\0|numformat:float,1,5}
(1/320s)
