--- Comment #17 from Gilles Caulier <caulier.gilles at gmail.com> ---
Metadata Views (Exif, Maker-notes, IPTC, and XMP) are raw view where contents
is taken as well from file and filtered or not.

Properties view is a synthesis of most important metadata really stored in
database. We don't store whole Exif, Maker-notes, IPTC, and XMP.

maker-notes are a subsection from Exif. In fact Exif working group has
dedicated this place to camera makers to host private data which cannot be
cataloged by standard Exif. This is why maker-notes are displayed in dedicated
view.

Note : maker-notes are just like RAW format : a pure shame against
standardization. Nothing is documented and reverse engineering must be
processed to understand these data.
