I see what you mean. In this case, I think it would make sense to move UploadWidget and ImageCollectionDialog to this lib. Unless we want to allow host app to provide their implementation via a factory (something like KIPI::Interface::createImageCollectionDialog() for example)

So the rule could be: if it can be overloaded by host apps, put it in libkipi. Otherwise, put it in libkipipluginsstuff (I'm not fond of this name, but I understand what it means)
