Now try again.
You have all this metainformation fields in a pdf file. It is rather
uninformative now then when you create a pdf file from LyX the creator
field in the pdf file is 'TeX
Metadata repository and search possibilities like Nepomuk are coming on
the Linux Desktop. I think it will be important that LyX files can be
easily indexed in these new systems. Therefore, we should add metadata
fields. For privacy obsessed people maybe we can add an option to
include dummy values for metadata.
I have no problems with that as long as this is a concious decision of
the user. However, having things like my user name and
modification/access date dumped silently into the file is no option.
What if there was a LyX option that controls if LyX in general
automatically fills in such metadata? I am a fan of privacy, so I think
it'd be fine if LyX's default behaviour was that metadata is not added
automatically.
In parallel to this, methods would be needed to manually insert, remove or
edit the metadata (you could always edit the .lyx-file of course).
