Metadata in Thumbnail panel

AFAIK, Imatch has completed importing all of my files on the C drive. The activity panel is showing no activity. In the thumbnail panels, under the rating, they all say "at F" instead of showing the shutter speed and aperture. I have about 50K files that are mostly jpgs with some RAW files. I can't find any image where this data is complete. That set of data was imported using the Lightroom Importer. All other data, including ratings and lens is complete. If I look in the Metadata panel, the data is complete. Only the yellow shutter speed and fstop in the thumbnail panel is missing the data.

I did a new db with a tiny subset, about 20 images using the normal add folders command and see the same thing.
Screenshot attached.

Please let me know if you need the logs or there is something I need to do.

Sounds like you need to configure the Layout Editor to show the metadata you want.

I use custom templates to show my shutter speed and aperture in thumbnails.  See attachments.

Which version of IMatch do you use?
Is this a new installation or did you upgrade from a previous version?
Licensed or trial version?

If this is an upgrade from a previous version, you should have seen a message box about changes in ExifTool and how this may affect File Window layouts etc.
In case you missed all that, here is a link to the dedicated help page: https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#upgrade_info_202092.htm
Pay special attention to the "File Window Layouts" headline. If you don't use custom layouts, just re-import the standard layouts as explained in that topic.

It's a new trial install. I did dig into the custom layout editor and see where the lens info was loaded. The box above that was empty, but I couldn't see how to bring in the data. I will take a look at your docs.

Thanks, Mario.

Edit: all good now. Thanks. The layout editor is very nice. I'll work with it when I have more time.

I did install a fresh copy of the IMatch 2020.9.3 trial.
The "Image Info" File Window layout shows the proper image data, including aperture and shutter speed.
