## Chapter 12. Metadata

One can enter metadata about the scenes into their project using the the Storyboard. Click the triangle next to the thumbnail to expand it. Then, click the pulldown menu of the combo widget to select a metadata item to add. Finally, enter a metadata value into the rightmost column. The metadata facilities are very configurable through the Kino config file ( Chapter 4, Preferences ). Kino can prompt the user for a project name for each new project, insert the name into a URL, query a HTTP server, and parse an XML server response to present lists of values from which to pick during metadata entry.

The following sections document the configuration file keys to customize this feature followed by an example.
