The user keys selection could be done / udapted in a pop window. To every key 
the user should be able to select the corresponding metadata tag family (exif, 
xmp, ...), at least the most common. But this can bring some complexity too 
(language, ...).

Objet: Re: [darktable-dev] Full metadata editor



Hi, 
this is very interesting! 
Sometimes I find dt panels a little restricting (i.e. the fixed dimensions do 
not fit good for all the modules). 
Maybe the request of having panels with different dimensions could help. 
But is is possible to have each module expanded while clicking on its title? 
I mean expanded in a window exceeding the dimension of the side panel where you 
can see ALL controls. 


To come back quickly to the original question I will prefere standard behaviour 
instead of popup too. 


Thanks, 
Maurizio

I am in favor of an expanded metadata editor, but I think it should be kept 
within the module, as this better fits the usual metadata-editing workflow. The 
unwieldiness might be countered by letting the user specify what set of 
metadata keys should appear for editing.

Hi, 


I'd like to start working on a more complete metadata editing interface. I've 
come up with two possible ways of doing this: 


1) A pop up window - this gives a lot of space and flexibility to eventually 
add as many different metadata-editing features as we could possibly want. 


2) Expand the current metadata editor module - I think I could squeeze quite a 
lot into there by splitting the fields up into different categories but it 
could quite easily become unwieldy and hard to use. 


My preference is for the first option, but it also doesn't really seem like the 
darktable way of doing things so I'm interested to hear some other people's 
opinions (I'm also open to any other suggestions, or opinions about if people 
actually want this feature added). 


Thanks, 
Sam
