I was hoping you wouldn't consider this a feature. It's just a port of KFileMetadataWidget to Nepomuk2. At the end, it's your call. There are significant advantages of moving to the new MetadataWidget. Since the previous one used a separate process, it could not utilize any of the cache, and had to query the db each time a file was selected. Considering that Dolphin internally uses Nepomuk to show a lot of metadata, the data would already be loaded in memory and we wouldn't have to query for it again and again. I hate the idea of users having to wait 8 months to get these improvements. Anyway, it's your choice. I do hope you reconsider. > Best regards, > Frank > > [1] > http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.10_Release_Schedule#Thursday.2C_November_8.2C_2012:_KDE_SC_4.10_Hard_Feature_Freeze > -- Vishesh Handa
