This is done already if Nepomuk is turned off, but it is not Dolphin-specific: The data shown in Dolphin's information panel and tooltips is provided by the class KFileMetaDataWidget from kdelibs (see http://api.kde.org/4.8-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kio/html/classKFileMetaDataWidget.html for details). This class uses Nepomuk if it is turned on and as fallback uses Strigi directly (-> the metadata is read each time by parsing the file). > Or is there a way to > generate content dynamically as part of a tooltip? It is created dynamically already by KFileMetaDataWidget by retrieving the resulting metadata provided by Strigi. The data provided by Strigi depends on the available Strigi-plugins for a specific MIME-type. So in theory writing a new Strigi-plugin that reads from IMDb would already be sufficient. > Also, if the basics are available, the act of caching the result can be > left configurable by the user - use it with permission from IMDb etc. This won't be possible very easy: If Nepomuk is turned on the result will get cached and this is not configurable yet... I hope this helps you to think about whether it is worth for you to investigate into this ;-) Please note that any decision regarding the Strigi-plugins is out of scope of Dolphin and it's up to the Strigi maintainers to decide whether such a plugin will get accepted.
