Hi,

I'd like to have the public opinion on the default values for "Sync from 
digikam to Nepomuk" and "Sync from nepomuk to digikam" settings.

1) "Sync from digikam to Nepomuk"
Pro: KDE is pushing apps to support Nepomuk and digikam. It is expected to 
become more and more important in the next years. Digikam has a lot of info to 
offer. It gives a feeling of integration if Dolphin displays the rating just 
set in digikam.
Con: Some people dont use nepomuk's services

Current default settings: false
Suggestion for default value: true

2) "Sync from Nepomuk to digikam"
Pro: Given dolphin displays the rating from digikam - why should the change 
not be reflected back? Gives full integration into nepomuk. Tags, comments, 
ratings can be changed everywhere. These occasion will increase in the future.
Con: Nepomuk does not support hierarchical tags, therefore tag import is 
cumbersome. Currently there is no syncing with the image's metadata, this is 
an inconsistency: a change from within digikam will update the file, a change 
from dolphin will change digikam's database but not the file.

Current default settings: false
Suggestion for default value: unsure
