I'm trying to display the shutter speed and aperture in the footer 1 of the thumbnails, in the format '1/250 at F5.6', using a Custom Template as described in the Help File under the subject 'The File Window'.
At the moment I've got the shutter speed attribute set at Footer 1 left and this is displaying correctly (please see attached screenshot).
In Footer 1 right I have the custom template -
{File.MD.Composite\ShutterSpeed\ShutterSpeed\0} at F {File.MD.Composite\Aperture\Aperture\0}
which is a straight copy from the help file. The aperture is displayed correctly but the shutter speed at right is showing as a decimal, just either 0.00 or 0.01.
What have I missed?
Add the value:formatted to tell IMatch that you don't want the default numeric value of the variable but the formatted text value:
{File.MD.Composite\ShutterSpeed\ShutterSpeed\0|value:formatted}
For metadata tags declared as numerical by ExifTool, variables return the numeric value by default.
BTW: nice icons in the header. :)

Again, IMatch shows how flexible and configurable it is... (https://www.photools.com/community/Smileys/photools/rolleye12.gif)
That's done it..! Thanks for your usual rapid reply.
I read the help file chapter on Variables but somehow missed that - I read it again this morning and it's all in there.

Thanks Sinus - not my design but a couple of icons I downloaded from a freebie icon site. They tell me I have nothing in the Description or Keyword fields - as described by Mario in one of his Knowledgebase articles. I don't normally touch the raw files but a very useful indicator for the jpegs I send to a photo agency.

Indeed....!
