    How to add Width & Height in the File Explorer column 'suggestions'?


    For some of my video folders, I would like to add the columns "Width" and "Height" as separate columns - for better sort options.
    (I'm using a german GUI and there it is called "Bildbreite" and "Bildhöhe". I'm not sure, if it is "Frame Width" and "Frame Height" for an english GUI or "Picture Width" and "Picture height" as literally translated).
    As you can see in this AniGif (click on the picture), I have to select them as usual:

    Do you know any way to get this two entries in the "suggestions" list for additional properties to show? The list that appears if you right click on a existing column header in the Windows File Explorer?

    This way I don't have to scroll down the long list and check this two entries again for the folders I want to see it.
    (I know that I could set the defaul view for ALL video folders. But I like to see this additional properties only for about the half of all my video folders.)

    Hi, Height, Width, (and Dimensions) - in pixels- are available as options for columns for me.
    Do you know any way to get this two entries in the "suggestions" list for additional properties to show?
    Not sure if you mean you don't have these available in the list shown when you right click a column header.

    I understand you want to have these available for some, but not all of your video folders, permanently.

    As you know, you can change the view for a given folder template type:
    Apply Folder View to All Folders of Same Type in Windows 10

    Windows has 5; some comments suggest it is not possible to create an additional folder template type. But then there's this, which may be of interest (not tried it myself):
    Creating Folder Templates

    and for interest:
    Folder columns - Any way to save a new template?

    IIf you could create a 6th folder template and find a way to differentiate the folders you want viewed with dimensions, that would work.

    Personally, I'd suggest simply changing the default view for all Picture folders.

    Yes, exactly this.
    I would save some time, if I could select them directly after right clicking on a column header.


    BTW: Unfortunately, I can't thank you again. The forum software tells me:
    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to dalchina again.

    It should appear for video folders, not for picture folders.
    This is what I get for one of my video folders:

    For video folders I see all of
    frame height
    frame width
    height
    width

    Do you mean you don't see the last 2 for Video folders specifically, but you do for Pictures?

    Which "pair" of properties really show values for a video file in your windows?
    (I assume, only one "pair" show something like 1920 and 1080, right?)

    Frame height does, not height.. at least for the 3 or 4 videos in that folder.

    Thanks for clarification.
    It looks like there is no easy solution for this.
    Naively, I dream of something like a simple registry file and a double click on it.

    I'd suggest you settle for having frame height/width available for all video folders if you want to see those.
