Since pdf's keywords are really different from metadata explicitly and

From seeing the code it appears that they are not the same metadata,
but Doc.Keywords is automatically imported into File.Keywords whenever
the first set changes. It is not really bad, it just means that
File.Keywords (and tracker-tag and the tags in nautilus) isn't the
ideal way to add user-set properties such as "ILike", "ToRead",
"NeedReply"...


yes they are different but related. Basically keywords can be user defined or extracted from keywords in images, documents and music files

I could add an option to disable auto-tagging by default if that will help?
