    Like with the model I would not make this public yet.

    IMHO this file should not be made public yet. I doubt anyone will reimplement this model soon. And the less API is public the more we can tune it afterwards.

<http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/3277/#comment4039>

    This could be moved into the model to keep any URI stuff out of the widget. If you want to keep Nepomuk as an option using URIs as property identifier is probably not best anyway.

    Why not move this into the model, too. Then we can optimize it in any way until we make the model public.
    Or if you think a widget method should not be in the model just make it non-public for now to keep the API as clean as possible. 
    Any further improvements can be done later. And I don't think any client does override custom widgets at this point.

    The simplest solution here would be to use QVariant. After all we can easily put a Nepomuk::Variant in a QVariant or just convert it internally.

The 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 (see http://enzosworld.gmxhome.de/temp/metadatawidget.png or attached screenshot). 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, ...). It is possible for applications to add custom meta data if wanted (including widgets to manipulate this meta data).

After the request from Tom Albers and Oliver Heidbüchel to integrate the widget also in Mailody/Okular I've adjusted the classes to get them ready for a kdelibs-integration. I'd also like to to adjust KPropertiesDialog later to use this widget.
