Created attachment 182525 [details] Beautiful Sunset out of Forge with Parameter metadata Problem & Context: Image-generation tools such as Forge embed the entire prompt (and other settings) in a PNG iTXt chunk labeled Parameters. digiKam currently displays only a single truncated line of that field; the user must hover to reveal a tooltip. Two limitations follow: 1. Discoverability deficit – most users never discover the hidden, hover-only text. 2. You can drag-select the text, but Ctrl + C / Copy copies the PNG image, not the text. * Always display the full multi-line Parameters value (wrapped). * When the user selects text inside that field and presses Ctrl + C or uses Copy, the clipboard should contain the selected metadata—not the image. * (Optional enhancement) Add a tiny 📋 icon to copy the entire Parameters block in one click. For artists iterating on AI prompts—or archivists verifying provenance—easy access to the full Parameter block is crucial. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a Forge-generated PNG in digiKam. (I attached one) 2. View the Properties sidebar → PNG → Parameters. 3. Observe: only one truncated line is visible; hovering shows a tooltip, but the text is not selectable. Current Behaviour: PNG └─ Parameters A serene coastal sunset with ra… [hover tooltip shows full prompt, unselectable] SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100

Note: The option to save the metadata of the selected tab to a file or copy it to the clipboard already exists in digiKam, with a tool button in the header next to the search bar. However, the metadata values were previously limited to 512 characters. Maik
