13.5.2.11 Image Window Title and Statusbar

Figure 13.62: Image Window Title and Statusbar formats

This page lets you customize the text that appears in two places: the title bar of an image, and the status bar. The title bar should

appear above the image; however this depends on cooperation from the window manager, so it is not guaranteed to work in all

cases. The statusbar appears underneath the image, on the right side. See the Image Window section for more information.

13.5.2.11.1 Choosing a Format

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: %f, Meaning: Bare ﬁlename of the image, or "Untitled"

Variable: %F, Meaning: Full path to ﬁle, or "Untitled"

Variable: %p, Meaning: Image id number (this is unique)

Variable: %i, Meaning: View number, if an image has more than one display

Variable: %t, Meaning: Image type (RGB, grayscale, indexed)

Variable: %z, Meaning: Zoom factor as a percentage

Variable: %s, Meaning: Source scale factor (zoom level = %d/%s)

Variable: %d, Meaning: Destination scale factor (zoom level = %d/%s)

Variable: %Dx, Meaning: Expands to x if the image is dirty, nothing otherwise

Variable: %Cx, Meaning: Expands to x if the image is clean, nothing otherwise

Variable: %l, Meaning: The number of layers

Variable: %L, Meaning: Number of layers (long form)

Variable: %m, Meaning: Memory used by the image

Variable: %n, Meaning: Name of the active layer/channel

Variable: %P, Meaning: id of the active layer/channel

Variable: %w, Meaning: Image width in pixels

Variable: %W, Meaning: Image width in real-world units

Variable: %h, Meaning: Image height in pixels

Variable: %H, Meaning: Image height in real-world units
