Property Plugins

Property plugins extend Seer's metadata extraction engine. When you open the properties window (or press Ctrl + I on a previewed file), property plugins inspect the file and display structured attributes and metadata.

The default shortcut is Ctrl + I; you can change it in Settings.

1. What Property Plugins Do

Each installed plugin determines which files it can inspect and which fields it returns.

2. Managing Property Plugins

All property plugins are managed in Settings > Properties:

Official Property Plugins

Official property plugin packages are available in the download center. Please visit Plugin Downloads - Properties to download the .zip packages. Downloaded archives can be imported directly in Settings > Properties without extracting.

Local Installation

  1. In Settings > Properties, click + below the list.
  2. Select the downloaded .zip directly, or select plugin.json from a complete extracted package.
  3. Seer prepares the package and selects its entry. Review the formats and Enabled setting.
  4. Click Okay to save and use it. Cancel discards the import.

If a package provides a different capability, Seer takes you to the corresponding settings page.

Configuration & Customization

  • Toggle: Select a plugin and change Enabled in its details, then save settings.
  • Format Overrides: Select any property plugin to inspect its details on the right panel, where you can customize its matched file extensions or remove it via the Delete button.
