Usability : Docking the 'Metadata' floating window #17

Open olivier-fs opened 2 years ago

olivier-fs commented 2 years ago

The 'Metadata' window is fine for viewing EXIF data. But the window is a floating one, "a la GIMP" . Wouldn't it be nicer to have the medata docked on a side ? The user could choose the size position of this window, and undock (i.e. make it float) at will. I've just seen that egui_dock crate (https://github.com/Adanos020/egui_dock) that would be perfect. It has 4 nice examples. These have dev-dependencies on the eframe framework, but it is not in dependencies, so using eframe should not be a requirement in another egui app (even if I'm sure that eframe is a great crate, being designed by emilk the creator of egui) As I said in my other posts on usability I'm not an egui expert so I don't really figure if it requires tons of work... just my 2 cents on how to make simp great.

It is an interesting idea but it is not really a vital feature. Simp already has alot of dependencies and I prefer avoiding unstable dependencies if the feature is not vital.
