Please add "Bits per Pixel Frame" as an indexable property

[santilli]

Currently I am indexing the properties Dimension, Video Bitrate and Frame Rate. With the result of those I have created a filter macro:

Code: Select all

add-column:a a:=$video-bitrate:/($width:*$height:*$frame-rate:) a-format:number.000 a-label:BPP

This way, when I type bpp: I get a new column with the BPP value of my video files, which I use to assess which ones could benefit from a re-encode to save space.

It would be extremely helpful if it was indexed as a standalone property so that i would not be required to use a filter macro, which also means I currently cannot have it indexed into a local database, and require me to go through the entire list of results to populate the column. Despite that, it works exactly as I need:

On the same note, it would also be really neat if we could format the values of each column based on its content, like different font weights or color depending on file size, or length, etc.

I have put on my TODO list to add Bits Per Pixel Frame.

is an alias for bits-per-pixel:

Color filters are on my TODO list.
Thank you for the suggestions.

edit: use

a-format:0.000

for formatting.

Thanks for the reply, I have a follow up question about the formula I mentioned in my post (and your a-format suggestion):
When sorting the column, I get a wacky order, because the sorting seems to consider the unformatted values.

When sorting the column without a-format:0.000 I get:

Code: Select all

0.0162687007652556
0.027484092755646
0.024383679005283
0.024212093368044
0.04107096027764
0.03896875

When I add the format formula a-format:0.000:

Code: Select all

0.016
0.027
0.024
0.024
0.041
0.039

Everything uses a natural sort and treats column-a as text.
Sorting is done on the raw text value before the value is formatted for display.
I have put on my TODO list improve sorting for column-a.
I also have on my TODO list to add type support to column-a.

For now, please format column-a when it is defined.

add-column:a a:=TEXT($video-bitrate:/($width:*$height:*$frame-rate:),"0.000") a-label:BPP

Everything 1.5.0.1419b improves sorting custom column values.

Negative values are now shown first and values with decimals will now sort correctly.
