We are in hard feature freeze since November 8 [1], so it seems to me=
that this can only go into the master branch.

Well. I was hoping you wouldn't consider this a feature. It'= s just a port of KFileMetadataWidget to Nepomuk2.

At the = end, it's your call. There are significant advantages of moving to the = new MetadataWidget. Since the previous one used a separate process, it coul= d not utilize any of the cache, and had to query the db each time a file wa= s selected. Considering that Dolphin internally uses Nepomuk to show a lot = of metadata, the data would already be loaded in memory and we wouldn't= have to query for it again and again.

I hate the idea of users having to wait 8 months to get thes= e improvements. Anyway, it's your choice. I do hope you reconsider.

Best regards,
Frank
