User Story
=======
The user will use a centralized application (with some pieces of it available
also as a component, in order to have it embedded in other apps) when he want
to tag, move,delete, copy to usb a large group of files, regardless of the
file type
Why this is important
=============
Right now Plasma active doesn't have a file manager, is possible to access
only to images or arbitrary files by adding them to the current activity, not
possible to delete them or copy to/from an usb drive
Proposed implementation
================
1) Finish eventual missing points of the nepomuk data models
2) export a public component for filesystem browsing (will be used only for
removable drives)
3) write a simple application to control the metadata model, to do queries
(facet style browsing) by:
a) date
b) name
c) rathing
d) associated activity
4) functions to individually or mass-tagging, rating,deleting
5) simple explorer of removable drives, in the same app, same (even tough
limited, partially disabled) ui
6) when browsing the local storage a "send to removable drive" option will be
there, maybe with slc, when browsing a removable drive there will be an option
to send to local storage, both either individually or en mass
7) move parts worth to be shared in an import to be able to include parts of
it in other applications (ie semantic file selection dialog)
Task Details

Effort Estimation: 5
