You have a feature where you can copy all the EXIF data to the clipboard. It would be useful to have greater control so you can selectively copy some of the data. I would like to copy the GPS coordinates to the clipboard -- as one item -- for pasting into another page. At the moment it's necessary to click on GPS Latitude to reveal the decimal coordinates then copy and paste each one individually. This is quite tricky/clumsy with a mouse as the decimal point in the coordinates stops you selecting them with a simple double-click.

Hi @Toro-88 . Thanks for suggestion. It seems to be a very specialized feature you are requesting. I strive to keep xIFr simple with features "everyone" can use. But do I understand you correct, if I hear it as you are looking for an one-click (or easy) way to copy (only) geocoordinates to pastebuffer formatted something like:
"6.249473333333333, -62.846738333333334" ?

Hi @StigNygaard. Yes that's correct I wish to copy (only) the coordinates and in the format you have shown. I agree it is a specialized feature but I would guess that out of all the EXIF data xIFr can extract from images the location would be the most useful to most people most of the time. It's a bit tricky to do this manually as you have to do latitude and longitude separately, you can't simply double-click to select the value as the dot and minus characters frustrate that by acting as separators so you end up having to drag the mouse to select but the text is a bit small.

I should mention though that I'm not really using your extension for the exact purpose it was designed for. I'm using it to extract the location from my own images--from the file system not web pages--and also to view the location on a map; Web browsers are such flexible programs. I was using IrfanView for this but xIFr can do it in fewer steps plus it's so slick, and with such a clean interface, it's a joy to use.
