should of course be possible to edit this information via ikiwiki.cgi and with any
text editor (Name: value). This should also allow for creations of default .html pages with
the image/video/file/... and a discussion page. Probably named image.mdwn and image/discussion.

+> Replying to myself. Just appending .meta gives problems when \$usedirs is enabled as the original file and the directory containing the html file will have the same name. Taking away the original extensions has problems with filenames having different extensions and the same basename. So something like 'about-image.jpg.meta'? That would require no changes to the core to support it and is reasonably easy to the eye.

Same goes for using something like svn properties, which git does not even support. Storing this info in the index file is problematic, because that isn't versioned. Major problem I see with this approach would be the disconnected nature of having two files. Posix extended attributes? ;-(
