Currently Shotwell shows some of this information (Title, Date) in the Basic Information pane in the lower left, some (Location) in the Extended Information dialog, and some (Tags, Rating) underneath the photo itself. I think we'd like to move the Advanced Information dialog into a sidebar pane at some point, probably on the right side - see http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1918 . Once we do that, we might be able to include more information there such as tags or ratings. We could possibly even eliminate the Basic Information pane and move all its information to the sidebar on the right; we're currently undecided about whether to do that.
