Thank you!

Funnily enough, I’ve recently tried to replicate the same info, although without colors.

This is not exactly the same, but you can find here the variables that can be printed.

For color formatting, see the end of the page

Hi, you just need to go in the settings > darkroom > pattern for the image information line and modify the field using CSS according to what you want to see.

As an example, here’s what I did:

•• <span foreground="yellow">$(EXIF_EXPOSURE) s • f/$(EXIF_APERTURE) • $(EXIF_FOCAL_LENGTH) mm • ISO $(EXIF_ISO)</span> •• $(FILE.NAME).$(FILE.EXTENSION) •• $(EXIF.DAY)/$(EXIF.MONTH)/$(EXIF.YEAR.SHORT) $(EXIF.HOUR):$(EXIF.MINUTE):$(EXIF.SECOND) •• OpenCl : <span foreground="red">$(OPENCL_ACTIVATED)</span> ••
