How metadata is extracted in Information Panel

1. Dolphin creates Baloo::FileMetadataWidget
2. When a single file is clicked Baloo::FileMetadataWidget::setItems is called by Dolphin
3. The class Baloo::FileMetaDataWidget uses Baloo::FileMetaDataProvider to create a filling job
4. Then Baloo::FileMetaDataProvider::setFileItem is called and creates an Baloo::IndexedDataRetriever instance.
5. Then, Baloo::IndexedDataRetriever creates a process using executable baloo_filemetadata_temp_extractor which prints the results gathered by KFileMetaData extractors and Baloo::IndexedDataRetriever reads the standart output.
6. The results are returned and merged with standard fields and printed in the widget

How Do I Make This Hard to Misuse?

It's useful to arm ourselves with a pithy phrase should we ever have to face an "it'll be easier to use!" argument. But once we've pointed to it, it's still not clear how to improve the difficulty of interface misuse.

So I've created a "best" to "worst" list: my hope is that by putting "hard to misuse" on one axis in our mental graphs, we can at least make informed decisions about tradeoffs like "hard to misuse" vs "optimal". The Hard To Misuse Positive Score List

10. It's impossible to get wrong.
