Ratio shown in the info window, customizable

Preferences > General > Display Tool Windows

Display Aspect Ratio: [ Lower:Higher ▾ ] with these choices:
- Lower:Higher
- Width:Height (orientation dependent)
- Lower:Higher, with the equivalent decimal number
- Width:Height (orientation dependent), with the equivalent decimal number


Browser in icon view can show ratio

Currently hardcoded as overlay on the bottom left over the thumbnail.

Preferences > Browser > Thumbnail Metadata > Picture

I propose to expand the on/off toggle with two sub-choices:

[√] Ratio
        Style: [ Lower:Higher ▾ ] shall have same choices as at Preferences > General > Display Tool Windows
        Position: [ Thumbnail overlay bottom left ▾ ] with further choices: Standalone attribute line | Combined attribute line: Size Resolution Ratio

Browser in list view does not show aspect ratio
- You can "Sort by" → "Aspect Ratio" but I did not find a possibility to show the aspect ratio as an attribute-column.
- Dunno whether attributes for list view are customizable. Didn't find possibility in menu or preferences.
- Any idea?

Ratio in Preview Panel of Browser

Preferences > Browser > Preview

As I understand the concept is this:
- With "Additional Tabs" you customize which tabs to show in what order and can define which one is preselected with "Default Tab".
- The "Image" tab with section "General image data" is hardcoded and not customizable
- The tab "Summary" is there to give you a customizable attribute list (which ones to show in what order)

I propose these changes

"Size" display in the "Image Tab":
- The "Size" attribute line gets the "Ratio" integrated
- Units get abbreviated (px and MP)
- Attribute get separators which increase readability (bullet or pipe character)
- So in total this will look like this:
Size: 640 x 960 px | 0.6 MP | 2:3 | 0.6667

Tab "Summary" gets attribute "General: Aspect Ratio: Lower:Higher" and all deviations like at Preferences > General > Display Tool Windows.

Preferences > Browser > Preview: Add section "Image Tab Options:" with its first option "Display Aspect Ratio: " with a dropdown menu with the same choices as at Preferences > General > Display Tool Windows.

@forum_adm:
• The aspect ratio is something which one frequently dealts with when working with images.
• Proposals would increase clarity and consistency.
• I assume this to be not too hard to implement.
• I'd appreciate a minimal response.

I add that to the ToDo list for the next year.

Thanks!

Add improved the display of the size in build 6159:

Also, I support now the display below the thumbnails:

I added the variants to the summary tab, too:

Tested in GraphicConverter 12.0.4 (6160)
- This now works very satisfyingly!
- All implemented except a tiny few preferences I proposed. Did not miss it in practise though.
- So now you have very good info on dimensions and proportions, easily readable/digestible, everywhere in GraphicConverter.

Great!
