Yes, in theory a lot of information could be shown. I tried to provide 
sensible defaults, so that the user does not get overwhelmed with too much 
information. However especially with JPEGs containing EXIF information, I 
think it makes sense to define a maximum height for the dialog and show 
scrollbars.

But yes: Maybe the default height should be increased a little bit or should 
take into account the preferred height from KFileMetaDataWidget and define a 
maximum.
