Correct. I can see the description in my IMatch 2023.14.2.

You mean the description? Looking at my revision control system, this description was added on 2023-09-26 and then rolled into the next available release which would have been 2023.3.4

@Mario I assume that the text "Show thumbnail overlays like the video play button" is new in IM 2025?

Go to Edit/Preferences/File Window and set "Show thumbnail overlays" to NO.
But I'm not sure what other kind of overlays are also not shown.

General Discussion and Questions / Remove Video/ Multimedia Thumb...

Last post by kiwilink - January 16, 2025, 03:31:48 PM

I have two separate databases.  One for all my images and one for all my videos (mostly shot with Iphone (.Mov). 

I was researching the manual and the Gen Questions trying to find a way to not show the arrow on the thumbnail (since all of the thuimbnails in the file window are videos.  This way I can see better what is under the icon.

I went to Edit/preferences because I assumed it's there but can't see any settings.  Is this possible?  Sorry if this question has already been answered.

Thanks!

Can you open a separate bug report?
I don't want to mix a OriginalDateTime tag losing it's time zone with a wrong version number in a totally unrelated tag.

When I recall correctly, some tags are only to be set once, by the first software used. IMatch checks for XMP::Creator and only sets it when empty or it is already photools.com IMatch (Windows) but maybe with a different version number. IMatch only writes XMP::xmp::CreatorTool, the other tags are filled by ExifTool mappings.

Maybe the effect you see is caused by ExifTool mapping between different tags during write-back. Updating an existing photools.com entry is OK

The difference in version numbers could be the fact that the metadata initially was written with a trial version of IMatch (odd version number).

Yes, but why does my first write-back produce endings in version numbers 2-1-2 and my second write-back 2-2-2?

Phil already provided an answer. He states that with the next update of ExifTool the problem should be gone, but not sure about my first post.

I've read his post and replied already.

I can only post this as a question in the ExifTool community to learn more about this behavior and why this happens and how I can prevent it.
