I missed to mention that there is a new warning because of the changes in CMakeLists.txt:

-- Configuring done
CMake Warning at cmake/modules/KDE4Macros.cmake:982 (add_library):
  Cannot generate a safe linker search path for target kfile because there is
  a cycle in the constraint graph:

    dir 0 is [/home/kde4peter/kde/build/KDE/kdelibs/lib]
      dir 1 must precede it due to link library [libnepomuk.so]
    dir 1 is [/home/kde4peter/kde/lib]
      dir 0 must precede it due to link library [libkdecore.so.5.4.0]

  Some of these libraries may not be found correctly.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  kfile/CMakeLists.txt:52 (kde4_add_library)

Does somebody have hint what's going wrong here. I guess it should be only a minor thing...

KMetaDataWidget allows an application in an easy way to show meta data of a file (or several files). The widget also allows to change meta data like tags, comments and rating: http://enzosworld.gmxhome.de/temp/metadatawidget_new.png KMetaDataConfigurationDialog allows to configure which meta tags should be hidden/shown. The classes also work without Nepomuk (and show only very basic meta data like size, permissions, ...).

There are still some minor implementation issues, but the main reason for this request is to review the public API and the integration into kdelibs/kfile (I'll take care to fix the issues until KDE 4.4).

As Nepomuk runs with Virtuoso now, the chances are good that we can get rid of this hack until KDE 4.4 (see also http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=125577498913008&w=2 for the discussion on kde-core-devel).
