You want said these methods :

QMap<QString,QVariant> DigikamImageInfo::attributes()
void DigikamImageInfo::clearAttributes()
void DigikamImageInfo::addAttributes( const QMap<QString,QVariant>& )

right ?

Yes, you can do it. Just overload the current methods and don't touch the 
current implementation. Like this you don't unbreak the tests released on 
this methods for 0.9.0 release.

Please, add comments in method headers, like others current methods using 
Doxygen syntax.

When you commit, please CCMAIL on digikam-devel at kde.org. Thanks in advance...
