File Emblems

This is a plugin for KDE Frameworks 6 that adds emblem functionality, similar to what's available with GNOME's Nautilus and XFCE's Thunar.

no vibes, no bevis

Not ready for primetime yet

Current status:

• KF6 plugin supports reading emblems from the user.emblem extended attribute.
• If built with ENABLE_GVFS, and user.emblem is not set, the plugin will also attempt to read emblems from GVfs metadata, i.e. emblems that were set with Nautilus or Thunar.

TODO:

• Sync GVfs emblems to XAttr if GVfs is set but XAttr is not.
• Similarly, sync XAttr to GVfs if XAttr is set but GVfs is not.
• If both are set, neither should be updated, unless you explicitly change them in the property page. (see the next item)
• Add a property page to allow selecting one or more emblems, which will be saved to the XAttr (and GVfs if enabled).
• Maybe add a KF5 plugin?
