Visual Indication if image contains description in file window

[ben]

Hi everyone,

i would like to get a visual indication in the file window if an image contains a description or title.
I've seen similar examples in this forum but cannot find the posts any more.

So,
in case there is a description/title, the thumbnail in the filewindow should show a small icon or a few letters (e.g. DES), e.g. in the upper right corner.

Thanks for any help,
Ben

Sinus has implemented this. It's easy. Just use a custom template, the variables corresponding to the tags you are interested in and then load an image or whatever you want to do.

Thanks so much. That was easy.

I am using a custom template with the following code:
<Run FontSize='8pt' Foreground='#CCFF33' >{File.MD.XMP::dc\description\Description\0|hasvalue:DESC}</Run>

One more question:

Can i also set the label to a specific color?
i.e. the label should be green if the image contains a description/title and reset otherwise?

Ben,
If you mean the xmp-label at the bottom of each thumb, I think, you cannot do a "link" to the description, as you would do it.

What you can do, is use for your DESC different colors or even an icon, the possibility to use an icon (instead of DESC in your case) is very interesting. Mario has described this in the forum, somewhere.

[ben]

Yeah, i think you are right.
The "DESC" is just shown in the filewindow and the label is a property of the file.

Never mind, my solution works perfectly for me.
