You can choose among several predesigned formats, or you can create one of your own, by writing a format string in the entry area. Here is how to understand a format string: anything you type is shown exactly as you type it, with the exception of variables, whose names all begin with „%”. Here is a list of the variables you can use:
Variable | Meaning |
---|---|
%f | Bare filename of the image, or „Untitled” |
%F | Full path to file, or „Untitled” |
%p | Image id number (this is unique) |
%i | View number, if an image has more than one display |
%t | Image type (RGB, grayscale, indexed) |
%z | Zoom factor as a percentage |
%s | Source scale factor (zoom level = %d/%s) |
%d | Destination scale factor (zoom level = %d/%s) |
%Dx | Expands to x if the image is dirty, nothing otherwise |
%Cx | Expands to x if the image is clean, nothing otherwise |
%l | The number of layers |
%L | Number of layers (long form) |
%m | Memory used by the image |
%n | Name of the active layer/channel |
%o | Name of the color profile |
%P | id of the active layer/channel |
%w | Image width in pixels |
%W | Image width in real-world units |
%h | Image height in pixels |
%H | Image height in real-world units |
%u | Unit symbol (eg. px for Pixel) |
%U | Unit abbreviation |
%x | Active layer width in pixels |
%X | Active layer width in real-world units |
%y | Active layer height in pixels |
%Y | Active layer height in real-world units |
%% | A literal „%” symbol |
