Description Ami 2022-09-21 08:24:18 UTC 
SUMMARY

The Description field on Information tab takes half of screen unnecessarily makes some exif info
 not visible without scrolling

Please allow to disable/resize it, so more exif data could be shown.
Thank you much.

Yes, I see what you mean, that is unnecessarily large. I think it would be nice to have a splitter let you grab that divider line in the middle of the sidebar, letting you move that up and down. (And it should remember where it last was, too...)
I think I can implement that, it'd be a fun first patch for gwenview on my end.

That would be great, thank you.

Add a splitter to the information sidebar

In Gwenview, the information page of the sidebar consists of two halves: an upper section displaying varying amounts of image details,
and a lower section displaying a rating, tags, and description.
Due to the expanding nature of the description's plain text edit, it takes up half of the sidebar by default, and is usually completely empty.
This additional space could be better used to show more image details, as requested in this bug report:

So, I have added a splitter, allowing you to move the previously-static central divider, 
and made sure that Gwenview remembers its position between sessions.

By default, the appearance of the sidebar looks identical to how it did before this patch.

Below are two screenshots, one of the splitter moved to its highest, and another at its lowest position.
