Title:
  Protocol suggestion: search metadata

Status in DC++:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I don't know that I am asking this in the right place, but if someone
  could tell me where to go and post this I'd be happy to do so.

  I have lots of ebooks, mostly PDF files. Many of them are scientific
  papers, and have lengthy titles by nature. It's hard and cumbersome to
  make the file name that contains everything that describes the
  article/book. The 'description' field in PDf properties would be a
  good place to put all of this information. but we could even do
  better, such as expand the 'keywords' section of description with such
  things as Date, ISBN, journal reference number, etc. This could be
  done for other file types as well. Lots of PDFs already have this file
  metadata in them, so being able to just search that metadata would be
  great.

  Other things I've wanted to do, is search inside an archive or
  compressed file. I know, it would probably be quite a CPU load to scan
  through every compressed file for the metadata. Maybe make that
  optional, for people with lots of CPU power to do the task.

  I guess where this suggestion needs to go is wherever the authors of
  DC software discuss protocol improvements. Where is this? Can someone
  direct me there?
