Description Roey Katz 2001-07-14 19:55:26 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           konqueror
Version:           KDE 2.2.0 Beta1
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Debian Packages
Compiler:          gcc 2.95
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

Nautilus allows the user to save notes on a directory or file and to have them appear on the left-hand pane; something like this would make Konqueror more convenient.

A KDE-wide notes facility could be integrated into Konqueror, k3b, juk, and any other 
KDE application.  This could be as simple as adding another editable field to an 
icon's Properties context menu.  Comments could be displayed in the tooltip popups 
alongside other properties in Konqueror.  Comments could also be displayed as a 
seaparte field in the Detailed View, and in the metainfo Konq sidebar as well.   
 
I propose this because I *need* to comment files and directories when I work with 
them.  This includes every kde app I use.

Replaced katz@wam.umd.edu with pupeno@pupeno.com due to bounces by reporter

Comment 5 Carsten Senger 2005-07-01 11:04:36 UTC

It would be great, if additional meta-infos could be saved as extendet attributes (EAs) on the filesystem. Several Filesystems on Linux (ext2/3, jfs, xfs, reiserfs) support them (partly through kernel patches in 2.4) and there is the acl-lib from http://acl.bestbits.at/ to access them. EAs work also on freebsd (on fs-level at least).
Nautilus saves meta-informations in xml-files, but EAs seam to be a more natural way to save meta-data for files and folders.

Of cause, you do not have support for EAs everywhere. It could be activated through config-options or tested at runtime.

The user interface can also be expanded to edit other EAs.

It has been implemented on KDE4.
