User Story
=======
The user will use a centralized application (with some pieces of it available 
also as a component, in order to have it embedded in other apps) when he want 
to tag, move,delete, copy to usb a large group of files, regardless of the 
file type


Why this is important
=============
Right now Plasma active doesn't have a file manager, is possible to access 
only to images or arbitrary files by adding them to the current activity, not 
possible to delete them or copy to/from an usb drive

Proposed implementation
================
1) Finish eventual missing points of the nepomuk data models
2) export a public component for filesystem browsing (will be used only for 
removable drives)
3) write a simple application to control the metadata model, to do queries 
(facet style browsing) by:
  a) date
  b) name
  c) rathing 
  d) associated activity
4) functions to individually or mass-tagging, rating,deleting
5) simple explorer of removable drives, in the same app, same (even tough 
limited, partially disabled) ui
6) when browsing the local storage a "send to removable drive" option will be 
there, maybe with slc, when browsing a removable drive there will be an option 
to send to local storage, both either individually or en mass
7) move parts worth to be shared in an import to be able to include parts of 
it in other applications (ie semantic file selection dialog)


Task Details
=======
Owned by: Marco Martin
Effort Estimation: 5
Task dependencies: to Authentication framework for SLC aspects.
