you wrote in the bug report: <quote> I too, feel that metadata should follow a file. If one wants different metadata for two copies of the same file, they should change the name of the 2nd file. </quote>

That looks like a linked file and not a copied file. Wouldn't you want the following: at the moment of copying the file and the tags (metadata) are both copied, after that the original and copied files and tags are separate entities. Changes made in the metadata of the copied file are not found back in the original, just like normal files.

I feel that different metadata between to otherwise identical entities on the same system is an anomaly and should not happen. Differing file names draws attention that the entities are not the same. And, a *linked* file is just a file-system pointer, not really a *copy*... A linked file instance should/would be identical since it is the same entity. It should/would carry the same metadata. am I missing something?? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
