We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I'm looking for software that can show the dpi of photos in the windows folder bottom horizontal bar. (alien.top)

I have to check a lot of photo's DPI and it would be easier to do if the photos dpi could be seen in the window folder bottom horizontal bar. Right clicking to check in Properties is too tedious. Anyone know of a software that can do this?

Dpi is a meaningless metadata value.

If I choose to print 1000x1000 pixel image at 10", it is 100 dpi.

If you print it at 3x3 it is 333 dpi.

PS shows an image size and dpi, but they are meaningless to quality or printing.

You should be able to Choose Columns in the Detail view, you just need to find the right property value(s).

I looked and while I can't get the scanned dpi but I can get dpi dimensions which once I know one photos dpi I can figure out the rest.
