Lister not diplaying image metadata in columns, but the Viewer shows them with F10

Dopus 13 .10 x64
Lister columns for picture metadata (such as Aperture and Shutter speed) remain empty even when the images listed are displayed in the Viewer and F10 shows all the metadata that's available.

(I've found nothing when searching for this here or in the helpfiles.)

Which type of image?

Please show a screenshot of what happens.

In the listers, Shutter Speed and Aperture columns are empty, but Focal Length and Exposure Time columns are good. In the Viewer's F10 overlay, these missing values are correctly shown (albeit with Aperture being called F-Number, which is fine).

Dopus knows the values but isn't displaying them in the listers.

Nikon Z7 camera.

Aperture and F-Number are two different columns; if you add the F-Number column to the file display it should show the same values as in the viewer.

From your screenshot it doesn't look like Shutter Speed is shown in the F10 overlay?

You're correct, Shutter Speed isn't shown in the overlay. It's expressed there as Exposure Time.

I guess I'm shouting at nothing and, as you say, need to display the correct columns to get the metadata I need. And it does this well.

Do different cameras use these ExiF values differently and Dopus caters for all varieties?

Aperture and F-Number are different things (F-Number is the ratio of the aperture to the focal length). Shutter Speed and Exposure Time refer to the same thing but are distinct metadata fields, so Opus shows them both (if both are stored in the image).

OK, thanks for your input. Great software, used every day for the last 12 years!
