Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes multiple steps of taps/clicks are required in order to update the EXIF description, and that is cumbersome because it is the only EXIF field that I would ever edit.

Problems with current implementation

  1. If there is an existing description, clicking on it does not focus on the description field, instead a modal with 7 fields show up as a wall of text, I have to look around to find the description, click on it, before being able to edit. In contrast, the dates and coordinates shows only a model with only that single field, easy to edit.

  2. If description does not exists, I have to click on the image's ... to Edit metadata before being able to edit description

A direct keyboard shortcut e.g. alt-d or button to directly edit the description would be great, I would also suggest using this icon https://www.iconfinder.com/icons/5598786/caption_description_quote_sentence_icon for the button.

Another suggestion is to have alt-d open up Edit metadata, but it shows only description, user would have to click an expand button to see the other fields.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Additional context
In today's context of smart phones, there is almost never a need to edit date/coordinates unless one is trying to spoof, but description is another story. Adding descriptions help track some details for myself and also other viewers.
