    Is There An "Aspect Ratio" Detail Column In Windows Explorer?


    Hello, so I've been using a certain method to edit images so they can match an exact aspect ratio (for my screen monitor) to be displayed as my wallpaper slideshow:

    As you can see, I have the "Dimensions" detail column to match up with the dimensions of what I need to edit the images to. Yet after editing many images, I want to make a quick look-through in an "Aspect Ratio" column, to make sure that all the edited images will match a "16:9" aspect ratio ( Aspect ratio calculator to get aspect ratio for your images or videos ). If you try to calculate these numbers at that site:

    then you will get that same "16:9" result.
    So I would love to have a column that shows that simplified ratio in a column next to the Dimensions column.
    I drew a rough draft of what that column would look like in Windows Explorer:

    Notice how I calculated the Aspect Ratio on the right side of the Dimensions for certain images? See how that last two that I typed show "8:5"? That is because if you simplify those dimensions using that calculator (the website link that I posted above), then you will get that aspect ratio. This "Aspect Ratio" column will help me notice which images I processed, which ones I didn't, AND which ones that I may have messed up editing. A messed up edit would be an image with dimensions of:
    1920 x 1081, which is an image with an aspect ratio of: ...1920 x 1081! It is obviously a number that will stand out, and I will notice it, so I would re-edit that image to the correct the dimensions (hence aspect ratio) that I need.

    So, does Windows Explorer have anything like this?
    (and please, I only want to know if Windows Explorer has something like this. I do not want to use any 3rd party application.)
    (Also I am aware of the application "Dimensions 2 Folders". It is a very useful application and definitely checks every image in a folder to tell if there's a wrong aspect ratio, but I barely run that application, and run it once in a while in my wallpaper folder [currently has over seventeen thousand images], to make sure that every single image has the 16:9 aspect ratio. Yet the "Aspect Ratio" column in Windows Explorer is much more convenient.)

    Thanks for all the help! Much appreciated!

    :)

  3. Change monitor aspect ratio

    The aspect ratio of your monitor is fixed and can't be changed, because it depends on the arrangement of the pixels on the screen.

    When you display an image on your monitor whose aspect ratio is different from the aspect ratio of your monitor, what you'll see depends on how different the aspect ratios are. Usually, you see black bars on the top and the bottom of the screen, or on the
    left and the right, a familiar appearance known as 'letterboxing.'
