Settings - remove tabs | add filter | move Catalog and Metadata to root level

[user0]

XnView MP 1.4.0 64bits
Windows 64bit (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%

Suggestion

• replace tabs with list
  Simplify structure by moving almost all tabs from details to navigation section (limit levels to 3 deep max)

• Add filter functionality to narrow down settings tree

• Move Catalog and Metadata to the root level as they are global settings

• Once it is done it will be easier to shuffle items/groups further to make it clear.
