oups. i'm dislectic  (:=))) Fixed

There is not a GPS editor into digiKam, because there is a plugin for that.

In fact i would untouch the digiKam core now until 0.9.0 release. Later we 
will certainly implement something like that. The subject is open in B.K.O 
file 133359.

Fixed.

Yes, It's in my TODO list.

Press Shift+F1 and select a button : you have tooltips. Item about metadata 
list view content.

I suspect than you use left button of mouse to get tooltip (like under Win32). 
if fact this way work fine with KDialog but not with KMainWindow ! To have 
checked the code in KDE 4, this behaviour will be fixed (i think)

All metadata list view contents strings come from Exiv2, not digiKam. i'm 
agree view you than rational values given by Exiv2 are not human readble.
If you want to change it, please report a bug in Exiv2 bugzilla.

Else the readable coordinate strings are displayed under the world map, just 
below the metadata list view.
