So I think we should keep that behavior. We're stuck with that. Nevertheless, it's wrong IMO.

I don't think that there is a better solution. I haven't tested this. So I don't really know. And you're probably right. I forgot that the choice of properties depends on the file type. A screenshot of the dialog would be nice (large enough to display everthing). >> 1.

Do you have any other suggestion? Not yet. To illustrate what I'm thinking of: Conductor and Director (of a Movie) are analogous. It would be nice to have a term covering both. . Ditto Lyricist and Screenwriter, and maybe more. I don't know if that is possible - at least I have no idea yet. We should just give it some (more) thought. Or the other way around: I find the distinction between 'Release Year' for media and 'Creation Date' (which should correctly be 'Publication Date') in for EBooks annoying and confusing. We should not repeat that, if possible. The property names are important for searching with baloo. Everything comes together here. (I'll elaborate this on demand) The code you are working on exemplifies pretty well, that everybody is brewing his own soup when is comes to metadata and tags. And this is only audio! I'm not saying you're doing this. But instead of just throwing in what is there we should agree on a concept how KDE is handling metadata. This is not the place to discuss that, though. I haven't this much thought yet it's just a feeling we might get into trouble in the future.
