Label is an excellent feature... however it is limited by the fixed formatting (ie: 1 line per entry) and by the 10 entries maximum. I would prefer the much more flexible editable box as in Fullscreen>Show information (+formatting items) in order to optimize data, space and clarity.
The drawback is that the editable box would be more complex to use than the current '2 boxes' selection...
Opinions? Other solutions?

Some brainstorming... ...and results 1. Simplify the complete editable box... I couldn't (only small improvements detected)
2. Allow customization with the 2 boxes selection... Hardly possible (probably more complex than 1) 3. Use 'Show expert options' to toggle between '2 boxes selection' and 'editable box'(in expert mode)... Oh? Interesting... ...but requires that other feature to be implemented.
4. Improve the current '2 boxes selection' by providing packaged data items instead of individual data items... OH YEAH!!!
- Focal length should be a number (with 1 decimal at max, only if required). 35mm Equivalence may be tricky...
- F-number should be a number with always 1 decimal (and only 1)
- Exposure time should be a number with no decimal down to 1s, and presented as a fraction below (-> for my camera, currently, you should remove the "." at the end of [Focal length] and remove the 2 decimals of [Exposure time] when longer than 1s. Everything else is fine)

I believe that just adding a few 'hard-coded' packages like those described before would be better: easy and convenient to use, easier to implement and clearer interface overall.
It would be enough for short/mid term needs... and the more flexible editable box in expert mode would even become a low priority item...
• In fact, you request something similar to the topic of THAT THREAD…
I think that it isn't too late to support this proposal, many purposes are possible…
- Please, notice that the example given there is not restrictive !
- Such plugins¦packs could be used to patch¦improve other functions, i.e. those you need here.
- And "A little bird" told me that finally, Pierre thinks to this too…

Yes, some user would like (perhaps) "[Image properties] - [File size]", some other "[Image properties] - [File size] Kb", ...
