SOrry for hijacking your thread on my first post to this mailing list 
but perhaps this is a good opportunity for me to understand a little bit 
more about Digikam before I start any development work.

I want to code tighter integration with the Gallery2 plugin into 
Digikam. This would involve allowing additional configuriation of 
"Albums" to allow sync'ing to a particular G2 Album. Allowing certain 
images to be excluded from the sync, and downloading user comments from 
G2 for viewing in Digikam (may require modifying the G2 end).

I have not started looking at the Digikam code yet so apologies if this 
is premature... I hope to be able to have a look in the next few months.

Would these methods you are talking about be needed to e.g. write a "Do 
not sync to G2" flag against a given image?

The reason I posted here on this thread was because you mentioned Flikr 
and I see the Flikr and G2 syncs as being very similar (conceptually at 
least).

All the best

Col.
