More customization for Labels?

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?

Yes, but i think that will be very complex....

First label package:
[EXIF Lens&Exposure] = [Focal length]+"mm f/"+[F-Number]+" "+[Exposure time]+"s "+[ISO value]+"iso"
- 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)
Then, you would get a single data line like:
...instead of 4 less readable lines:
Your opinion? Ideas/comments?

I would also like that package: [Image properties]+" - "+[File size].
Some people may look deeper at the IPTC fields, but that's about all I can see for now...
...more ideas?

So perhaps having the possibility to add 5 custom fields, and editing them???

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... 
Active plugin ?

Hello, bonsoir!
• 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", ...
...but requires that other feature to be implemented.
