I like this idea! I hadn't thought of the Mac interface before, but
yes that could work quite well here.

Well, it's basically what we have right now when you edit JPEG meta
data in the media popup. Is it a bad thing? Maybe.

I agree. I had this idea when discussing the interface with Kate, but
I don't really like it myself anymore. It's complicated to implement
and doesn't really add anything useful to the interface.
