Layout Editor - Insert a Filed of an AtrributeSet

[PoeschelA]

I would like to insert a attribute filed in the left corner of the first row of the Layout Editor.
I'm able to add every Metadata Tag but with iMatch Attributes I fail. Thanks!

I can help you with the IMatch version: {Application.Version}.

I assume you have to call exiftool (standalone application: exiftool -ver) to obtain the version number

Do you mean you want to show Attributes in a File Window layout?
You can pick the corresponding variable when you use a custom template, like any other variable. Please see the help on file window layouts if you don't know how to use variables in a file window layout.

Please note that this may cause performance issues. Displaying custom templates, parsing variables for each thumbnail displayed in a file window is cool and allows for cool things. But there is a price to pay for this, because IMatch has to load much more data from the database to fill a thumbnail panel.

Sorry, I didn't find an answer.
I would like to display in Layout line 1 - head - left side (screen1.jpg) the attribute field "Nummer" (screen2.jpg). I'm able to display any XMP field but how do I insert a iMatch Attribute?

Custom Template, then insert the variable representing your Attribute.
Keep an eye on performance, because doing things like this causes a lot more data to be loaded from the database in order to "fill" a file window.

Thanks!
My Attribute set is named "Image" and the field "Nummer"
So I insert:
Custom Template
{File.AT.Image.Nummer}
Doesn't work :-( I did something wrong :-(

Mario, Thanks!!!!! It works

I assume the display of Attributes is faster than XML fields. Is this correct?

[Mario]

Not really. IMatch uses sophisticated caches for metadata and for Attributes. If your disk can deliver the data fast enough, you should be fine.
