I'm not sure what a framed view is. Is it what you do with the Window->Split 
View Left/Right and similar options?

The new thing I'd like to see, is some way to accociate contents of a 
particular mime/tpyp  with such a view profile. That is if I have a folder 
full of JPEGs  konqueror should recognize this, and open it with the View 
profile I have specified for JPEG folders.

To configure the view profile the way I wan't it I would need a sidebar 
element that showed me the metadata of a selected image in the main
view.  Preferably metadata like Comment should be editable in the sidebar.
This would greatly simply fy adding comments to images e.g. dowloaded
from a digital camera.

The question is how we enter what file types that should use a specific 
profile. I suggest that it could be done from a dialog opened from the
"Settings"
	
The dialog could contain a combobox whery you select viewprofile and
a list where you could add or remove mime types. There could also
be a textfield where you could enter a regular expression to specifify
a certain profile if the regexp was matched by any files in the folder.
