In fact the KFileMetaData widget was used in the KFilePropertiesDialog, but that got thrown out because of the one in nepomuk-widgets. We can ask DavidF if he approves. This plugin based approach might actually result in the code being cleaner, as we would clearly know when to use what plugin to use - Is Baloo enabled/installed. -- Vishesh Handa
