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. Check the package description for its supported formats and features; installing Seer does not automatically provide every type of metadata plugin.
2. Managing Property Plugins
All property plugins are managed in Settings > Properties:
Official Property Plugins
You can download packaged property plugins (.zip) directly from the table below. Downloaded archives can be imported directly in Settings > Properties without extracting:
| Plugin Name | Version | Supported Formats | Description | Download |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RGB Histogram | 1.0.0 |
png, jpg, jpeg, bmp, webp, tif, tiff |
Computes and displays RGB histograms and exposure statistics | Download (.zip) |
| SHA-256 | 1.0.0 |
${type_file} |
Computes the SHA-256 checksum hash for the current file | Download (.zip) |
All plugins are open source. You can also visit GitHub Releases to view release notes and source code.
