           Summary: Suggestion: Ability to add any arbitrary tag to any
                    PIM data
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.6 beta2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: fatgerman at googlemail.com


Version:           4.6 beta2 (using KDE 4.5.85) 
OS:                Linux

This is really 3 requests in one so I'm not sure what to categorise it under. I
notice that in KMail 4.6 I can now create buttons to assign tags to emails.
It's useful to be able to tag emails but I think this interface could go
further and become just about the most useful thing since the computer.

First, rather than having to create buttons to assign tags I'd like it on a
conext menu, or an 'Assign Tag' link like Dolphin has; I have nearly 1000
unique tag names, I don't have screen space for all the buttons :-)

Second, why stop at email? I'd like to be able to assign tags to any and all of
my PIM data - notes, journal entries, contacts, calendar entries,. etc.

Third, I'd like all of these tagged items to show up alongside my tagged photos
and documents when I do a nepomuk search through Dolphin.

I'll try and explain why I think this crazy idea is useful. I'm a part-time
writer and photographer. My hard disc is littered with photographs and
documents. Kontact is full of notes, journal entires, calendar entries etc. I
generally spend 40% of my working time just looking for saved information. I
need information management that pulls everything together but I have yet to
find a solution that works for me. Adding nepomuk tags to everything and, most
importantly, making *everything show up in the same search* would, as far as
I'm concerned, by information management nirvana, and I suggest it because this
new nepomuk stuff is the only thing I've seen that might actually make it
possible.

Reproducible: Didn't try
