--- Comment #62 from Jeff Dooley <jfd5xte at gmail.com> ---
Sorry, I know this bug is now closed, but from a user perspective, I was hoping
the developers could clarify the interoperability with Dolphin (which is the
tool that I use, presumably with baloo integrated). Below are my assumptions
based on this bugzilla thread; please let me know whether or not I correctly
understood.

Digikam interoperability with Dolphin: 
* Tags and ratings that are originally generated using Digikam, assuming the
user uses the option to save metadata stored in file, will now make use of
linux filesystem extended attributes. Consquently, the tags and ratings
originally generated in Digikam will be reflected in Dolphin's information
panel, and detailed view. Right?
* Will tags, ratings, and comments be allowed to be generated or modified from
Dolphin, and then reflected in Digikam?
* Will the list of available tags in Dolphin be synchronized with the list of
tags in Digikam?
* If a tag, rating, or comment is applied to a file using Dolphin, when Digikam
is started/loaded, will it check the file metadata/ extended attributes against
the database and prompt the user to confirm the changes? Corrollary: I can
imagine a use-case, or configuration option, where attributes generated outside
of Digikam are automatically dropped/ ignored by Digikam.

Thank you very much!
