ShellDetails 1.26 (Content plug-in)
Moderators: white, Hacker, petermad, Stefan2
You are right, it seems that this field (orientation) is coded as a numeric value, like this :
1 = Horizontal (normal)
2 = Mirror horizontal
3 = Rotate 180
4 = Mirror vertical
5 = Mirror horizontal and rotate 270 CW
6 = Rotate 90 CW
7 = Mirror horizontal and rotate 90 CW
8 = Rotate 270 CW
found here, with others interesting infos : EXIF Tag Names (id 0x0112)
For technical informations about EXIF : technical informations (for advanced users, that i'm not)

"Caption" is missing the context provided by canon
When I create a custom columns view, I can add fields provided by Shelldetails.wdx. I see many possible choices, but I don't know what they mean or what they refer to, or whether neighboring choices are related.
For example, one choice is "duration." Duration of what?
A search of MSDN tells me that the canonical value is
name = System.Calendar.Duration
Could I make Shelldetails contain the canonical value instead of the part after the last period? FYI I stumbled across a word in MSDN that might provide a clue (though I'm clueless): "CoerceToCanonicalValue"
BACKGROUND: My example used one entry in shelldetails.ini:
[{293CA35A-09AA-4DD2-B180-1FE245728A52}100]
Caption=Duration

Great - thanks for the information that the numbers actually refer to the EXIF standard.

What you write is absolutely correct. There is nowhere a desciption what the fields are doing. These fields are provided directly by Windows and this is a dynamic system where developers can add new fields just like in TC.
What I could do is to write a documentation of fields which are delivered by the operating system. This would be a lot of work and I don't have all operating system versions of Windows. So I guess I will create a page in the TC Wiki and start with some basic fields. The rest must be supplemented by the TC community.
In this case 'Duration' refers to the duration of a music track or movie.
I don't think your search result in the MSDN is related to the fields in ShellDetails.

2LefteousThis would be a lot of work and I don't have all operating system versions of Windows.
Would this help? I merged information from shelldetails.ini with information from propsys.dll on my Win7 64-bit computer. There are 1050 rows. Below are two example rows
Code: Select all
format.......................................caption from shelldetails.ini...name from propsys.dll.....state
[{64440490-4C8B-11D1-8B70-080036B11A03}3]....Length..........................System.Media.Duration.....131810
[{293CA35A-09AA-4DD2-B180-1FE245728A52}100]..Duration........................System.Calendar.Duration..131809

Rather than duplicate my work, I could send you my spreadsheet. Consider sending me an "email" me through the forum and tell me your true email. I could then attach it as xlsx xls or csv as you wish. If you don't want it, that's OK too.
I'm referring to my spreadsheet where I provide the "canonical value" for nearly all of the "captions" in shelldetails.ini, plus many more unmatched fields from propsys.dll

Last Played field for a mp3 file
How can I see in TC when was the last time I played an mp3 file?
Re: Last Played field for a mp3 file
I don't see that choice in shelldetails.ini.JohnPaul2lover wrote:How can I see in TC when was the last time I played an mp3 file?
For your amusement, I do see this in propsys.dll:
[{26B8D54F-371F-4AEB-8A84-9224AEA4D40A}36] System.Game.LastPlayed
(Close, but not applicable to System.Music)
Hi
since the last two years I used the DWG Column Handler http://www.jtbworld.com/dwg-explorer-column-handler.htm with Win XP and no problems. Since installing the current version on "Win 7 64 + TC 8.01 32" I have problems ...
a) it does not work
"Readme" tells me: "Shell extensions are currently not supported on Windows Vista and Windows 7."
Is it true, still under current version 1.24?
I can see the entries (keys) in the list and can select them, but htey don't display values.
b) Too many entries:
My shelldetails.ini has 330 sections, and I do not need most of them (dozens of Outlook stuff ..). Is there a way to ignore some shell-extensions to get a smaller list?
Thanks and regards
Peter

That has never been entirely correct. Since Vista shell extensions work in a different way. Some extensions support this and some don't.Shell extensions are currently not supported on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
The old rule "if it works in Explorer it should work in ShellDetails too is the only important rule.Is it true, still under current version 1.24?
If you used an INI file from XP they could be invalid.I can see the entries (keys) in the list and can select them, but htey don't display values.
That's a feature I consider for version 2.0.My shelldetails.ini has 330 sections, and I do not need most of them (dozens of Outlook stuff ..). Is there a way to ignore some shell-extensions to get a smaller list?
Just recently i've discovered that this plugin could cover for some other plugins I now use. But I have some questions. (maybe some question is allready in this 20 page thread, sorry for that)
1. The list of available items is very long now, is it possible to add some grouping like in the win7 properties dialog? (Description, Video, Audio, Media, Origin.....)
2. In Change attributes the plugin is not available. Is it possible to add this?
3. Some fields are missing, for example the field Channels. After reading a bit through the topic I found the entry in propsys.dll and succesfully added it to the .ini.
How does the plugin gather the entries? Why is this entry missing?
