Hi,

first of all, thanks for all the time and energy that you have put
into FileMetaDataWidget in the past, Vishesh!

Note that many users consider it quite unfortunate that KIO does not
show a widget with details about files in the "File already exists"
dialog (that appears sometimes when copying/moving files) any more.
This already happens with KIO from kdelibs 4.x if it's not built with
Nepomuk support, and people file Dolphin bug reports about that on a
regular basis.

Therefore, I think that it would be preferable to put that widget in a
library which KIO can use somehow. If it's not acceptable for KIO to
depend on KFileMetaData, maybe it could be done via a plugin system, I
don't know.

I know that it is not straightforward to solve this issue because of
the frameworks splitting and the reduction of dependencies, but this
is a regression from KDE SC 4.x (at least if it's built with Nepomuk
support), and according to the user feedback that I got, it's quite
unpopular.

Regards,
Frank
