Show media aspect ratio in admin area

Hello @artgoddess

If I am not mistaken, the raw image file located under media has not aspect ratio. The aspect ration would be set when you add it to your page/post. If you modify an image before you upload it you can edit the name to include the aspect ration the file was modified to.

The?aspect ratio?of an image is the ratio of its width to its height. It is expressed with two numbers separated by a colon, such as?16:9, sixteen-to-nine. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)).

Any image has an aspect ratio. After the process of uploading, the original image retains the same width and height, so whilst it has these two properties, it has an aspect ratio.

It is only a matter of doing a math operation, from image dimensions and showing it in the admin area.

Any suggestion would be really appreciated.

Thank you for your prompt and kind answer.

I have suggested this feature to the “Admin Columns” plugin team:

Can you please guide me how to request an enhancement? Many thanks.

Enhancements to core WP can be made through the Trac bug tracking system. Before creating a ticket, please do a search to ensure the request has not already been made. If one exists, you can subscribe to it so you are notified of any progress.

Since you specifically mentioned “column”, you surely are looking for aspect data in the media list view and not the grid view. The list view is based on the WP_List_Table class. It’s possible for custom code to be developed that adds another column that presents desired information. A comprehensive article on modifying WP list tables is available.

Thank you for your answer @bcworkz. I consider this topic as solved, thanks to the links you have shared. Many thanks to all.
