So, let me refine my question even more: is there a way to invoke a
Strigi-analyzer on demand (on file hover e.g.)?
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.
