that'd be great.

perhaps i could make the file dialog handle those resources and have it spit 
out urls on the other side?

we do only want actual files in this dialog, so any resources retrieved would 
have an associated URL. that would mean having a separate view for the search 
in the file dialog ... hm .. that would be a fair amount of work ...

ok, i'll try and keep up with the nepomuk devel (and you can feel free to poke 
me in the ribs, too) so that i can keep the file dialog implementation using 
the full capabilities of nepomuk ...

so here are my current plans for the file dialog based on all of this then:

KDE 4.2:
* add the search field and use the ioslave, show the results as a normal file 
listing

KDE 4.3:
* make the file dialog aware of Nepomuk resources 
* create a view for these returns if one doesn't already exist in Nepomuk-KDE 
and use that view when searching instead of browsing
