Thanks

I will fix it.

Right. Something is missing in listview, especially status. I will do it.

Not sure. I want a more large feedback about this point.

Ah. This is a complex problem. I will trying to do something.

Yes. I will fix it.

Already done by the Note on bottom...

I will fix it.

I will fix it.

Ah. About this point i have take a look into main application with have an IPTC editor. Bibblepro and xnview work like this.

This is a KDE theme problem on your computer. Here i cannot reproduce it.

I have tried to do something like that, but i'm a little bit tired (:=))

In TODO (:=)))

Well, i have planned to add new plugin action to use it in single mode. Like this i can start IPTC editor dialog directly from a simple "edit" econ on the top of "Metadata" sidebar tab. Also a new menu entry can be add accordinly.

This way will be the same with GPSSync plugin and Map location editor using Google maps.
