Summary0015446: reorder the fields in the image tab of the properties palette
Descriptionwile working on a reset button for the image properties, i've noticed that the fields:

- do not seem to follow a strong logical ordered (at least not for me)
- do not make it easy to access the fields that are (probably) most used.

this makes it harder to find a good place for the reset button.

i suggest the following order:

- scale (the one that i almost always use...)
- position
- rotation
- image effects (only visible when an image is loaded) + extended properties (only visible for image types with extend properties)
- Colour management (visible if active)
- page number (should only be visible on multi page images? ... in this case it could also be on top...)
- PDF compression (only visible when a PDF is in the frame?)
- (reset button)

i will add a patch for this soon.

oooh... i see that the fields are alphabetically ordered:

- page number
- position
- rotation
- scale

... is this on purpose? is this what we want?

 ale, please consider introducing a new field too (field value read only).

Image name:

This would be useful.

Thanks, Peter

the information is already available in the context menu, under "file info".
on the one side, this is for sure an interesting information, but i really wonder if it's wort to use PP space for it.
for the times i need the information, i'm ready to right click on the frame...

i would tend to add it in the "tooltip" in the "outline" window.

and is also accessible in the image manager.

i don't know i'm a bit hesitant to add it on top of the image tab in the PP...

adding a link to the image manager?

the free scale / fit to frame (/ fill the frame) radio buttons should be push buttons (with an icon) on top of "their" fields.

optionally: only show the active fields for the active fill type.
