We may have a pane (or tab) with file infos, chosen by us by default but totally configurable by the user. Infos pane (or tab) has: - a scrollable list of label/value infos (like current Exif pane) - a Setup button On Setup button activation a dialog appear with following infos displayed: - the same list as in previous Infos pane - on each row, label and name of the entry, a delete button, a (may be inactive) edit button and up/down arrows for sorting. - a Add new entry button at the bottom The Add new entry button starts a dialog for entry selection, with OK/Cancel buttons. An entry can be: - either a formatted.* metadata entry - or an exif metadata entry (currently in Advanced Exif) - or a file property entry (currently in General, may be with a special name starting by file., like file.size, file.mode) - or a named template entry, like the one used to configure OSD display, allowing to display more infos in a row - or a separator (horizontal line, space, or editable label) Each type of entry may have its own way to set.
