Add metadata tabs for webp and other file formats

Post by Marsu42 »

With other file formats than plain ol' jpeg gaining ground, it would be nice to have 'em shiny tabs for the single tag types (IPTC-IIM, XMP, ...) in the "Properties" window as well. Atm it's only the "Exiftool" tab that calls the external exe and takes a while, plus all tags are just crowded in one long list.

The file formats that come to mind and don't have these tag type tabs right now are (in order of importance): webp, jpeg-2000, flif, jpeg-xr, bpg ...

... esp. since webp is now widely supported (web browsers, Android) it would be nice to have full support in XnViewMP. I've tested 'em all and found that webp at near-lossless is much quicker than jpeg2000 and half the file size of png, so I've switched to it for viewing my own processed photography shots on screen.
