[Nepomuk] [KFileMetaDataWidget] Grouping of interconnected information

[Matthias Fuchs]

Hi,

I discussed a problem on irc and sebastian trueg mentioned that I should also 
write on it here.

The problem is that there is no graphical representation of information that 
is interconnected.

Take NFO::hashAlgorithm and NFO::hashValue as example. At the moment both are 
displayed in their own line and there is no visual link between them. Now if 
more algorithms and values were added it would get a little complicated for 
the user to associate the correct values with the algorithms.

Ideally both would be displayed in one line, e.g. "SHA1 hash: 
325e69d24514f7b26834a93ad260f3024127714b".


Though this solution would most likely not apply to other information that 
should also be graphically grouped. Sebastian mentioned that he tried to 
create a solution for this once with having an xml file and another time with 
a custom format.

So as he put it there is a need for a rule system to graphically represent the 
information.



PS.: Grouping information graphically would also the advantage of making 
information easier hideable/collapsible.
PPS.: I created a bug report for this
