This grouping feature will drive more Nepomuk utilization on user side. People will have the much-expected incentive to add more metadata to their data. (Other) Application will start adding contextual metadata to their produced files, eg: project name in KDevelop, etc. And finally we'll have our semantic desktop year.<br /><br />Will be looking forward to tis grouping feature. I hope Nuno will come up with a mockup soon. Yay!<br /><br />I was about to hack dolphin to add arbitrary nepomuk based grouping -- with my zero Qt/C++ knowledge. Unfortunately you guys have beaten me already :D.

Anyway, showing all meta data of (i.e.) jpegs is impossible anyway - even on a vertical sidebar on the right.<br /><br />Meanwhile, counting the days for release of 4.8 already and looking forward on the cool sorting and filter functions in dolphin 2! :)<br />thank youManfrednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591179528445148028.post-63846619135611683292012-01-15T10:19:33.684+01:002012-01-15T10:19:33.684+01:00@Manfred:

There is also a bug report for this (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174455 ) However it has not a high priority because it is requested quite rarely and the efforts to implement this are higher than someone might expect: The current "one-line" layout of the metadata must be changed to a kind of grid-layout. Quite interesting: AFAIK the only file manager that uses the horizontal layout for the meta-information is the Explorer from Windows 7. But now in Windows 8 they have changed it to a vertical layout. But generally I like the idea to let the user decide what fits best for him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339806249189186547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591179528445148028.post-53189417882250739742012-01-15T00:42:43.848+01:002012-01-15T00:42:43.848+01:00hi Peter,

People asked for a configuration to specify the popup-delay. However after getting some feedback it turned out that tweaking the default value was all that is needed.<br /><br />On smartphones there is also no configuration option for the animation speed and nobody cares. Of course smartphones have the big advantage that the graphics drivers are a lot better and 60 frames per second are possible. Sadly on the Linux-desktop the situation is more tricky but in this case the option to turn off animations completely is available.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339806249189186547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591179528445148028.post-43206180552185310152012-01-12T22:12:13.728+01:002012-01-12T22:12:13.728+01:00First off thanks Peter!

But please! make it optional. When something similar (similar means: one scroll wheel 'click' moved the view to the next 'page' down, just like 'page up'/'page down' does in any document) was introduced to column view I was really annoyed not to find an option to turn it off. To me this behaviour does not make sense when scrolling vertical, but does when scrolling horizontal.cpnoreply@blogger.com
