Hi Bron,

thanks for looking into the annotation/metadata stuff.

Just to be sure: do you plan to change the current annotatemore-code so that 
it will access the new database and an old client still using annotatemore 
will still work?

Given that there is code to convert the old annotations.db to metadata.db I 
don't see any problems for us. Our backup code will probably need some 
tweaking, but when the new db format is more sane than the current mess I 
don't see any problems with that.

Kind regards,

Gerd
