Now that tab and such information is gone. As KDE translator, I very much regret this - there was nice possibility to see e.g. how much untranslated or fuzzy string some file has, without the need to start KBabel (now Lokalize); same for pictures etc. 770944 1 frank78ac 2009-06-06 15:05:12 +0000 *** Bug 195327 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 770946 2 frank78ac 2009-06-06 15:06:46 +0000 *** Bug 173820 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 770948 3 frank78ac 2009-06-06 15:07:38 +0000 *** Bug 185885 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 770951 4 frank78ac 2009-06-06 15:08:56 +0000 *** Bug 175808 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 771120 5 kde-2011.08 2009-06-06 21:31:36 +0000 Screenshots of Meta Info tab in Konqueror from KDE 3: On jpg file: http://www.coldsiberia.net/phototest/konqueror_meta_data1.jpg More on jpg file: http://www.coldsiberia.net/phototest/konqueror_meta_data2.jpg On HTML file: http://www.coldsiberia.net/phototest/konqueror_meta_data3.jpg On PDF file: http://www.coldsiberia.net/phototest/konqueror_meta_data4.jpg 772970 6 frank78ac 2009-06-10 17:11:35 +0000 *** Bug 195873 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 773160 7 greg.freemyer 2009-06-10 21:49:03 +0000 That's 5 duplicates by my count, and I'm the only one to have voted for this master bug.

This is vital to my work. Thanks for your help. jyp 819192 11 linux 2009-08-26 16:24:00 +0000 I very often use the meta-data feature to check photo files I receive from third parties. Its much faster than opening a photo app just to check if there is, and if, to have a look at the meta data. I hope this feature will be there when I finally upgrade to a newer OS version this automn... 819204 12 smaug42 2009-08-26 16:32:39 +0000 Second on comment #9. This info really should not be dependent upon Nepomuk/Strigi. 830765 13 pioe 2009-09-15 11:36:31 +0000 I am a photographer, and also a writer. I do not understand why the meta data function has been left out from Konqueror 4. The meta data information, from the lens used to the camera used to shutter and aperture values, are crucially important for photography. Also, for all other sorts of files meta data are very valuable. I want this to be able in Konqueror and preferably Dolphin too. KDE ought to be the configurable, function-rich alternative! 843459 14 kilavagora 2009-10-11 18:08:06 +0000 One of the features I still missing in KDE4. And again, it should be available without Napomuk/Strigi 862236 15 frank78ac 2009-11-15 17:38:29 +0000 *** Bug 214629 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 872057 16 frank78ac 2009-12-01 23:19:00 +0000 *** Bug 208206 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 904440 17 pioe 2010-01-24 13:14:28 +0000 Still missing functionality! KDE 4 is a nice development in most areas, but there is a very important functionality missing which was there in KDE3, as already mentioned. In KDE 3, when right clicking on the file and choosing Properties, one of the tabs was named Metadata - by clicking this one one could get a long list of information about the file. This function needs to be added as soon as possible. Read the other comments for clarification. 907465 18 bob 2010-01-28 21:28:45 +0000 This is really necessary for me. 907694 19 usrrgt 2010-01-29 01:36:12 +0000 I can't believe that this feauture and "system:/" kio-slave are missing in KDE 4.4 again! KDE4's wireless network management sucks too. KDE is losing the north, implementing eye-candy features instead of the necessities required for use. Definitely KDE is no longer a desktop environment seriously in which you can trust. Priority must be given to serious matters rather than the beautiful. KDE is dead in the three version. GNOME has no competition. KDE 4 forced to me to use it, as for the most users. 908396 20 peter.penz19 2010-01-30 12:18:59 +0000 @Pino: I hope it is OK for you that I've reassigned this issue to me. I plan to fix this in combination with bug 193592 for KDE SC 4.5. 909828 21 pfeiffer 2010-02-01 21:04:28 +0000 FWIW, long time ago I hacked kmetaprops.cpp so that all the KFileMetaInfo information from strigi were displayed again. Unfortunately, strigi's ontologies lacked textual descriptions for all the meta infos, so instead of e.g. a label "Image Width" it would show a long fully qualified ID of the meta info from the ontology. I didn't find any time to investigate this further. 955497 22 peter.penz19 2010-05-01 18:19:05 +0000 Fixed for KDE SC 4.5 955512 23 kde-2011.08 2010-05-01 18:45:37 +0000 Thank you Peter! Should I mark as FIXED? 955551 24 peter.penz19 2010-05-01 20:11:46 +0000 @Dotan: Sorry, I forgot to mark it as FIXEd - done now :-)
