When I search for 'aper', I find ApertureValue and MaxApertureValue in both
'Informations sur l'image' and 'Informations sur la photographie'.
ISOSpeedRatings and ShutterSpeedValue are there twice too. Same thing for
FocalLength (and FocalPlaneResolutionUnit and X and YResolution).
Isn't there a way to display things only once in the metadata tab?

Do you mean the 'Propriétés' tab? That one is quite interesting, but not
very easy to read (many information, small police, texte centered). Would
it be possible to add the lens model in the 'Propriétés de la
photographie'? And use colored stars and flags (for the rating and labels)
so they will be more visible.

I did reset the Métadonnées-Affichage in the Configuration menu several
times, and then unchecked information I didn't want to display (GPS for
example), but didn't see any difference.
