Create a metadata context pane [$100]

[Danielle Foré]

We currently have like 30 context menu items strewn about that have to do with one thing: metadata.

We should either create an "Edit Image Info" dialog to parallel the "Edit Song Info" dialog from Music, or create an "Info" context pane that you can hide/reveal.

This should include all of the fields and data from:

* Basic Info
* Extended Info
* Add/Modify Tags
* Flag
* Set Rating
* Edit Title
* Edit Comment
* Adjust Date and Time

When I've seen people manage photos using like iPhoto or whatever, it was pretty important for them to have these details all the time while going through multiple pictures. A popover wouldn't be a good idea, and we hate multiple windows so I think a context pane would make the most sense.

It would be pretty familiar to a lot of users I think, if they come from g+ or iPhoto.

I designed how it could possibly look. Check out the attachment.

I guess the button to reveal this pane would show up in the headerbar.

Since we don't yet have a headerbar, for now we could place a button in the bottom right corner of the bottom toolbar (same position like it is in Music)

Heya, I did a good bit on this today, screenshot is attached. Obviously it is rough on the formatting and prettiness still but besides that any input?

-I used expander widgets for the different sections, yes or just have the section titles as normal labels and no expandiness?

-waiting on https://code.launchpad.net/~victored/granite/rating to be done for the actual star widget not the +.- buttons..

-Should all of the rating /edit metadata stuff be removed from the context menu? The context menus are pretty cluttered but it's nice to have them there too when you don't want a sidebar taking up space.

-Should the image properties frame on the bottom Library sidebar be completely removed?

-I used the noise icons for the reveal sidebar button, but should an Icon that makes it more obvious the sidebar is about metadata be used?

Hey Madelynn, let's move discussion to a MR on the relevant branch :) I've started one here https://code.launchpad.net/~madelynn-r-may/pantheon-photos/fix-1332978/+merge/227644
