Image Columns : PixelArea, Orientation

[meteorquake]

In Add Columns... there's probably a benefit in having a pixelarea column for images that can be readily selected, i.e. width x height, perhaps called WxH or pixelarea or similar, as this reflects the image's pixel size better than the width or height does and means people can readily select it and sort by it.

Also since Orientation is often not populated it would be useful to have a true orientation column that reflects whether W>H, W=H or W<H and combines with any orientation or rotation metadata, resulting in Landscape or Portrait, I suppose a square picture could fall as either of them or as Square. aspectratio doesn't cover this, and also is not binary/trinary in nature which has its uses.

I think also a biggest dimension / smallest dimension ratio as a decimal would be very useful. When looking for scanned items, you may know the approximate ratio of the original but not which way up it was scanned.

There is a Dimensions property which is width x height in pixels.

Everything has a aspect ratio property:

Aspect-ratio<1 == portrait
Aspect-ratio>1 == landscape
Aspect-ratio>1 == square

The following searches also work:
aspect-ratio:portrait
aspect-ratio:landscape
aspect-ratio:square
aspect-ratio:>1
aspect-ratio:<1
aspect-ratio:1
