Metadata editor improvement - Bundle

[andre-hohmann]

Description

On behalf of the Community Board and based on the results of one Barcamp in Berlin, we suggest to improve the metadata editor regarding some functionality and usability aspects. See:

• Barcamp: Usability Metadateneditor #5881
• https://github.com/kitodo/kitodo-production/wiki/Barcamp-2023:-Usability-Metadateneditor

The suggestions are described in several issues, which are listed in the following sections.

Related Issues

• Metadata editor: Keep size of image in detail view #5796
• Add new functional metadata structureTreeTitle for labels in metadata editor structure tree #5882
• Add option to open select pages in the metadata editor gallery in a separate browser window #5887
• Add option to save default data editor layout #5888
• Allow to move multiple page at once in the Structure tree #5926
• Allow to move pages from the Gallery to the Structure tree #5927
• Physical page number always visible for thumbnails instead of only when hovering #5928
• Show and focus always new metadata fields in the metadataeditor #5929
• Add buttons to browse the files in the detail view of the metadata editor #5930

Expected Benefits of this Development

The work in and with the metadata editor as one main part of Kitodo.Production will be improved regarding efficiency and usability.

Estimated Costs and Complexity

Due to the variety of issues and aspects it is expected high. Although the issues themselves might not be very complex, the combination of all issues as well as creating tests, … will likely last more than 10 days.

Edit: After consulting with the @kitodo/kitodo-board Issue #5927 has been excluded from this bundle because of conceptional problems that would have to be discussed in the future that might potentially render it too costly for this round of the development fund.

@solth Just a quick question since I cannot find this issue in any of the milestones so far. Will this be done after 4.0.0 when the PrimeFaces update is behind us?

[solth]

@Erikmitk since this is a bundle with several issues that all concern the metadata editor, but otherwise are relatively independent from each other, we agreed on not forcing all of them into the same milestone but rather tackle them one by one whenever @thomaslow finds the time to work on them. Therefor some of the issues in this bundle will potentially be fixed in version 3.8 and the rest should be resolved with the 4.0 release.

Edit: certain tickets like #5926 will probably have to come after the PrimeFaces update, so will be released with 4.0 rather then 3.8.

I plan to work on these issues (that are not related to the PrimeFaces update) in the next couple of weeks. I already started with #5796.

Perfect! Thanks for clarifying!
