Description KDE Brainstorm Submissions 2010-08-11 01:10:08 UTC 
Version:           4.1 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

This idea is that, when you first install KDE, certain folders (and files perhaps as well) will automatically have Nepomuk metadata assigned to them (comments certainly, maybe tags as well). Examples include the root folders, which should have comments saying what each of them is used for in Linux systems, and your Documents, Desktop, and .kde4 folders, which similarly should have comments saying what they are for. It should be easy for distributions to add their own initial metadat for folders they add.

Similarly, default pictures the system comes with, for instance wallpapers, should already have informative tags.


This feature request was originally submitted through KDE Brainstorm, and has been submitted to Bugzilla due to popular demand. Original idea: http://forum.kde.org/brainstorm.php?mode=idea&i=38910

Reproducible: Didn't try

As much as I like this idea, I do not think it is a good idea to confuse user generated metadata with documentation. What is mentioned is documentation as to what each folder does. If a distribution wishes to provide such information, an introduction video or something else might be a better idea. Using Nepomuk to store this information does not seem like a good idea to me, and I'm probably never going to implement something like this.

Sorry, but I'm marking this as a WONTFIX.
