Original description:
Shotwell currently displays extended photo information in a separate window. Some users have asked for it to appear in a sidebar area instead (as in some other photo programs such as Aperture). I think this is worth considering.
Related issues:
- related to shotwell - Feature #2401 (closed): show more information in basic information area (Open)
- related to shotwell - Feature #1928 (closed): Extended information in popup menu (Open)
- related to shotwell - Feature #2400 (closed): show more metadata in extended information (Open)
- related to shotwell - Feature #5709: display seconds in photo date/time (Fixed)

I also would like to see the extended information in the sidebar – I was quite surprised when a new window showed up. Given that in the menu it is below “basic information†and worded the same, I expected it to be another checked/unchecked option.
Having something like a Gtk.Notebook or Gtk.!ToolPalette in the sidebar (similar to F-Spot) would also open room for future extensions, e.g. displaying a map for geotagged pictures.

I do not like the idea of Tabs so much (is that was a Gtk.Notebook does) ? I think some + signes or triangles would be cool to add the additional information you want.
And I think this could also be a place for some nice extended buttons to use all those bits of information nicely.

Dropping to medium; will not happen for 0.7.

I also think it would be much more convenient to have the extended information in de sidebar.
As it is now, I always select 'always on top' for that window, because otherwise it will disappear below the shotwell window whenever I select another photo. But still that is also a bit inconvenient, because then it is difficult to position it so that is isn't over the picture.

Please keep it simple, just get rid of the popup would be the right first step. :)
These issues would be also closed if we merge the boxes: #2779 (closed) #2400 (closed) #2401 (closed)
In fact, #2401 (closed) had an interesting suggestion: just show the information from the extended info box in the basic info box when it is resized! #2779 (closed) suggests the window be dockable, but that seems like only a crude workaround. I was tempted to close the issue as a dupe of this one altogether, but I am not sure this is culturally acceptable here. ;)
Also note this could be in conflict with what was apparently decided in #1928 (closed), to make the extended info box a real popup accessible with a right click, but as I said there, I think we can do both.
