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
This sounds somewhat related to what I proposed on: http://forum.kde.org/brainstorm.php?mode=idea&i=94779#anchormain If you would participate in the debate of that idea, we might produce a good suggestion for the future of tagging and ToDo-making system in KDE :D
The Nepomuk project is no longer maintained in KDE since 4.13. For email indexing, Baloo provided an Akonadi resource to index emails, contacts and events. Tags are now maintained by Akonadi itself.
