<br>
This looks really useful to me. Thanks for your work creating the mock up.<br>
My only suggestions are adding the aspect ratio to the metadata field (on the<br>
proposed tab) and add this in addition to the existing tabs instead of<br>
removing them.<br>
I would keep the other tabs because there are still some options which would<br>
clutter the new tab but could benefit some users (or help people used to it).<br>
Some examples are on the properties tab the file owner, in the caption tab the<br>
caption author, or on the maps tab the larger view and the possibility to<br>
change properties like the map type.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
