Add Location Fields

• Add location (text line) fields

Sorry, I'm stupid lol. I thought that CyanVoxel said about making a pull request or something to the 9.4 branch instead, I should I switch this to the main branch? (and obviously sync my branch to match the main branch, before doing so) ?

Yes, per 332 merge Discord announcement
Unless this qualifies as a "teeny tiny QoL feature", but IMO while small doesn't qualify and I don't know if another 9.4 release is planned

The json library is no longer used on main, new fields should be added under library/alchemy/fields.py

Of course, I just clicked through the folders, I didn't even look at the folder names, oops.

[Nginearing]

I think that's correct now.

This is indeed the correct branch for new features at the moment.

While location fields would be beneficial (as we chatted about a few weeks ago) I think the field would make more sense to hold actual EXIF-style GPS location data rather than just be a cosmetic text field. Custom names for fields are coming in the future too, so there wouldn't be a need for hardcoded names for fields such as this when that eventually lands.

How about: TagStudio shows location (gps) metadata alongside the usual Date Created and Date Modified metadata, what you're describing, sounds similar to the ability to modify metadata which afaik has been mentioned in an issue before.

This is something I would like also like, along with showing any other EXIF data in a similar manner. This PR/feature request would more so be for adding custom GPS/location data for your own purposes and/or having multiple GPS values per file entry. As I think about it though, I'm struggling to come up with practical use cases for this... If @Nginearing is okay with just having the EXIF data display with the potential for EXIF editing further down the line, then I'm okay with that too.

I'll get started on programming the implementation to show the gps coordinates exif data.
