What news :

- Shorting automaticly Exif metadata groups by prefered photograph order : 
"Photograph Informations" and "Image Inforlations" are always on the top of 
the list (Request by Rainer)

- Using user friendly tags values (Request by Rainer and Paco - thanks to 
Andreas)

- Tags descriptions is implemented. If you select a tag and you use What's 
this menu, you will have a tooltip view appear. (thanks to Andreas)

- New button to copy to clipboard all current metadata.

- New button to print all current metadata.

- Any widget optimizations and bugfix.

There is a screenshot here :

TODO : trying to use user friendly tags name instead internal Exiv2 tags name. 
Andreas, how i can do it (if it's possible) ?

All comments welcome...
