Got it! This time, I have only what I need/want... except for the 'Notes du
fabricant' where I have many lines like 0x0003 ... 0x4027 and I don't know
how to get rid of these.

One thing that's not very user-friendly is all the proprieties are not
translated in the setup screen... you have to find the english equivalent
of words you see in your own language on the display tab.
Of course, you don't see this is you use the english version! ;-)

Great!

My mistake. I can see it now.

Yes... but rating stars are barely visible, and labels are text only (less
visible than colored flags... and not very UI consistent).

I see no difference between 'Aucun filtre' and 'Photographie'.
'Personnalisé' works well with 'Paramètres' below... so what the
Configuration menu for displaying metadata still stands for?
