Hi KDE Folks,

In my previous post, I mentioned about the implementation of Nepomuk and XML backends for Krita. Many asked me what’s the use of nepomuk or XML, which one is best and so on. I want to clear those doubts in this post . . .

Coming to XML – We started implemented tagging in XML to get the opportunity of exchanging resources between Gimp and Krita. And later we moved on to nepomuk, so that with nepomuk we have the following advantages

Add and delete tags using kde apps containing nepomuk feature – these changes will be effected once you restart krita application.

Search resources by using tags in kde apps

The following picture is adding tags for the resources in dolphin

But the problem with nepomuk works only kde libraries, we can’t use this feature in Gnome environment. Xml can be used in both environments but not able to share tags with other kde apps.

On the whole, both have its own advantages and disadvantages. I completed the implementation part of both backends and also sent for review to merge the code into the master. In few days, the nepomuk feature will be available to you . . . 😀
