Great comments!

@Martin Owens
Yes, videos are awesome =) The current layout is done with a table (grid for gtkmm3.0?), so no rows should jump up in the table as far as I know, only tested with table so far ;)

@Jasper van de Gronde
Concerning a more extensible table with property:value and include list of possible options (the vocabulary from dublin core). This is actually the solution we have been discussing in "commons machinery" for next iteration so really happy that you see it as a good solution as well.

Concerning your second comment. I can try to add some kind of infobar at the top or bottom that will show a short list of all the information that is for the entire document. The problem I can see with this is that it might be hard to actually figure out which information is for the document and for the selected object.

It might make sense to make it a bit more compact, as well as more
extensible. For example, rather than having a fixed list of properties,
it might make more sense to have a kind of "table", where the first
column is the property name and the second column the value. The
property name could be selected from a list of possible options (from
Dublin Core for example), perhaps including an option to specify a
custom property. I'm thinking of something not unlike what is used by
many e-mail applications for specifying the list of recipients.

Also, I would be interested in seeing some of the most important data
figure more prominently in the GUI. Perhaps the license (for the
complete file) could be shown somewhere for example (in abbreviated
form). Also, the title and possibly the creator could be shown more
prominently (in the title bar for example).
