Outstanding questions:
Who can see this if we include it?
What meta-data should we include?
How can this relate to clipart?
What other groups might be interested in this?
Who has existing files with RDF and/or XMP already
in them?
I've been trying to manually add Dublin Core metadata to my files for a while and Dublin Core is incorporated as part of XMP.
All the signs in the clipart collection should have an RDF in them with license and author info in it. I put it in manually, but once its in its visible in the xml editor. As for what data, I think author, license (pd,lgpl etc) and maybe description would be good (for clipart at least.) The thumbnail sounds like it could be handy for whatever the clipart interface ends up being.
Given that librsvg was and possible still is faster than libpng a thumbnail is in my opinion unnecessary bulk.
(thinking of a psp browser type interface with thumbs of all hte available piccys) infact it could make a
I know its not cross platform (and believe me I really appreciate cross platform solutions) but in Gnome at least I'd like to be able to choose 'Browse Clipart' or suchlike and have a FileManager (Nautilus) window with SVG thumbnailing enabled popup in the relevant directory, ideally with some sort of callback to allow me to choose one of the SVG and have it be imported.
Hrrm, i guess the answer would be to have a dirt simple file open Dialog with an extra button to "Browse..." and use the system file manager, which in the case of Konqueror and Nautilus should both SVG enabled.
psp browser type file opener a possibility. (i love that about paint shop pro, makes managing graphics files so much easier.)
In terms of a more generic portable solution there was some recent mention of GUASH thumbnail browser. on the GIMP mailing list. A developer expressed an interest in porting it to GTK2, although other thumbnailing solutions seem to be preferred it might still happen and could be reusable by Inkscape. I believe CinePaint is continuing to use the GTK1.x Guash.
