--- Comment #2 from Stefan Brüns <stefan.bruens at rwth-aachen.de> ---
For "Save", I would definitely vote for "preserve as much as possible".

For "Save as ...", I am not sure. There are pros and cons for both
possibilities.

Cons:
- It may lead to information leakage. Tags, comments, origin-url ...
- Attributes may no longer apply

Pros:
- It still is mostly the same file
- Manual transfer of attributes is time consuming


Baloo itself does not care either way. As the file is created as a copy (and
the old one deleted), it is just a new file which happens to have the same
path.
