I am sure that many users have photos archived on DVD-s or CD-s. It would be usefull to be able to imtegrate these in Digikam workflow (tags, searches, etc.). For this, we need an offline manager that will have, possibly, the following:

1. A menu item - Add offline album
2. A dialog with several options mainly related to the image cache from the disk: 
2.1. Do we keep local copies of the images?
2.2. If we do, what should be the size (in pixels) and compression factor? (a default should be available)
2.3. Name of the disk, location of the disk.
3. General settings: CDROM drive for offline manager, default size and compression factor for image caches, Image cache location (directory).

Offline albums should have a diffrent icon than online albums. Thumbnails of the pictures that belong to offline albums should have a visual marker (different border, etc.)
