check for image depth / alpha

Diego from Paris — Thu, 20 Dec 2018 15:45:09 -0000

Hi,
Very good tool. Very good (and unique) to find continuity problems in image sequence.

I have sometimes a specific problem :
image sequence with no continuity in alpha (and/or bit depth).
exemple : some PNG with alpha switch from 24 bit to 32 bit. And avid don't like that !

Do you think possible to add in "check for corrupt" the bit depth count of files like for resolution (and or the alpha yes/no) ?

Thanks,
Diego

option to use different date/times?

Glenn Bristol — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 09:25:47 -0000

not sure if this is necessary..... but DateTime is used in many places. It is first attempted to use some Exif DateTime tag - if unable to find then it uses CreationDate from FileInfo struct. Perhaps the user wants to use CreationDate because Exif value is less accurate?

If Exif data is available, usually there are multiple date/time tags that could be used (digitized, original, etc). Also available is the Windows CreationTime which may be more interesting/useful to the user, assuming it's even correct. Anyways it's theoretically possible that either of these could be wrong, so giving the user an option to use either/or (or even one of the multiple exif values) might be beneficial?

group exif info into groups

e.g. Exif, Maker Notes, Canon Info, etc.

add status icons to corrupt files list

Would be very helpful to quickly discern which files are maybe/really corrupt, and further an indicator of what's wrong. Also allow sorting on this column i.e. make it it's own column (if possible).

Just ideas:
? = potentially corrupt
H = header is corrupt
x = file is dead
0 = file-size is zero
Z = exception caught processing this file
etc.

parse exif maker notes

This is a gold-mine of information, though it needs to be decrypted first...

ignore last characters

Glenn Bristol — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 14:59:12 -0000

Currently the sequence number can not have characters following it e.g. blah00 copy.jpg (after windows copy). Otherwise yet another tool is needed to rename the files to a format that is compatible.

IDEA: add an "ignore last # characters" option underneath the "ignore first # characters" option.

time estimate for corrupt file checking

Put a text label somewhere with estimated time til exif statistic collection is finished.

warning if files found with different case

Glenn Bristol — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 17:09:49 -0000

This might prove problematic if, for some odd reason, files from multiple sets/exports/cameras come together with different extensions.

Somehow show a list of files with different cases? Or at least warn the user and give them a list of all the variations.

If rename feature is ever added, possibly offer the option to auto-rename to all lower/uppercase for convenience.

Note: currently extensions are converted to upper-case for making an extension search.
