At last I was able to compile digikamimageplugins (without perspective).

1. Free rotation:

	a. When resizing image guide lines can "escape" from image and
	   became unaccessible. Also this is the case when opening
	   window in fullscreen (as remembered by digiKam).

	   Generally, guide lines look like blocked not on image but
	   point of screen (or current window). This problem appears
	   everywhere guide lines exist (eg. shear).

	b. When operation guide lines with mouse near borders of image,
	   guide lines can behave strange, not always is possible to
	   place vertical guide line at the border of image. It depends
	   mostly on speed of mouse.

2. Cannot test BlurFx, Charcoal, Emboss etc. Almost completely unusable
   ATM.

3. Anti vignetting. I wonder if this is possible to delay update of
   preview until some button pressing. On slower machines (like mine
   - Sempron 2200, 256M RAM) it can really make life hard.
	
4. Blur, Sharpen and Noise reduction looks nice but are using enormous
   amounts of memory. Mem leak? Sharpen and Noise managed to crash my
   comp. Didn't try to stress Blur enough to repeat this.

5. Restoration. I can move nav rectangle once and digiKam tries to
   compute something. Have to click abort. Also it is possible to move
   nav rectangle outside of image area.

6. Raindrops looks OK.

Another issue:

When browsing images from Search "aniou" in image editor there is title:

digiKam Image Editor - Album "aniou" - Digikam

"Album" can be misleading, I would suggest Query or Search instead.

The same apply to other virtual albums.
