SECOND IDEA :
-------------------

Merge MetadaEdit EXIF/IPTC/XMP dialogs to one dialog with tabs.

The goal is to reduce MetadataEdit menu enties in kipi host application.
Currently, we can edit Exif or Iptc, or Xmp using dedicated dialog. it's too
long if users want to modify Exif and Xmp values for ex. it need to
open/close 2 dialogs

The idea is to take exif, iptc, and xmp dialog content and to create a
common dialog with tabs to host exif, iptc, and xmp settings.

The settings gui and backgroud metadata process implementation do not change
but must be factored in the same implementation or something like that. It's
purely a gui factoring.

There is entries in B.K.O about :
