metadata editor (and API) for KDE save file dialog?

[René J.V. Bertin]

Hi,

Has it ever been considered to add a (pop-up) widget to the save file dialog that would allow to specify metadata key/value pairs when saving a file, plus the corresponding API so apps can set it too?

For instance, when a browser downloads a file on Mac it will add a Spotlight attribute (really just a standard Unix xattr underneath) that records the source URL and download date; this can be quite useful at times. (The system uses this information when you're launching a downloaded executable for instance, even if the executable is "hidden" inside a disk-image.)
