Alternative solution to clean the image/movie field in UI
Following this request ( devtalk.blender.org/t/blender-ui-paper-cuts/2596/1199 ) I thought of an alternative solution to the space issue in text field of datablocks, especially image/movie ones. Since now it's already cluttered, and in many cases icons are even missing, why noy just make a compromise and sacrifice a few vertical pixels and always show the icons below the text field? Afterall it's a matter of screenspace.
It would be important to visually hint that the two rows are bond together, so I tried to join them and round the whole block corners, as it is done in other buttons in the interface.
By the way, this proposal could be read like an alternative and less unconventional (in Blender UI terms) version of this one ( blender.community/c/rightclickselect/Kkcbbc/ )

I sometimes use Bender as an automated image processor that requires a input file already at a given size. So, having the size of the image displayed here is really useful.
I would add the dimensions of the image as values for 2 output sockets that could then be used for math operations !
