<p>We're stuck with that. Nevertheless, it's wrong IMO. All I'm saying is: Before simply repeat this error, let's give it some thought.</p>

Currently tooltips are a little broken. see <a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D9973" style="background-color: #e7e7e7;

<p>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).</p>

<p>I went through the properties again and only found that we might want to use the "generator" property instead of a new "encodedby" property. Do you have any other suggestion?</p></blockquote>
<p>Not yet. To illustrate what I'm thinking of:<br />
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.<br />
I don't know if that is possible - at least I have no idea yet. We should just give it some (more) thought.<br />
Or the other way around: <br />
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.</p>
<p>The property names are important for searching with baloo. Everything comes together here. (I'll elaborate this on demand)<br />
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! <br />
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.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>INLINE COMMENTS</strong><div><div style="margin: 6px 0 12px 0;"><div style="border: 1px solid #C7CCD9; border-radius: 3px;"><div style="padding: 0; background: #F7F7F7; border-color: #e3e4e8; border-style: solid; border-width: 0 0 1px 0; margin: 0;"><div style="color: #74777d; background: #eff2f4; padding: 6px 8px; overflow: hidden;"><a style="float: right; text-decoration: none;" href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D10803#inline-52747" rel="noreferrer">View Inline</a><span style="color: #4b4d51; font-weight: bold;">taglibextractor.cpp:132</span></div>
