Really impressive :)

Of course I have some remarks (as always ;):

- Main screen: Remove buttons are labeled "Remove...". Ellipsis is
  required only if button/menu entry opens new dialog with further input
  required.  Here it is not the case, simple "Remove" will be enough.
- Main screen: Remove action is strange. There is no way to know when
  this action was reverted or it is possible. If it is not possible
  warning would be appropriate
- Main screen: not sure if wording "IPTC actions" would be
  understandable for all users. "IPTC information" IMO would be better.

- General: better checking for non ASCII characters is needed, warning
  while applying, leaving section, whatever. Passive info in form of
  a note isn't enough.
- General: some link(s) to info what are those all fields would be great
  thing. While pros probably know all those keywords by heart all
  newbies will be overwhelmed and will have problems with proper use of
  those new possibilities. Import of dictionary in Digikam is
  overkill but links to IPTC spec on-line would be nice touch.
- General: placing of warning note in one place on all screens (bottom?)
  could be nice visual accent.


- Keywords/Categories: First button is labeled "Add...". Ellipsis is
  required only if button/menu entry opens new dialog with further input
  required.  Here it is not the case, simple "Add" will be enough.
- Date & Time - first line "Date/Time created", should be
  "Creation date/time" or "Date/Time of creation".
- Origin: Country - entries are ordered alphabetically according to
  three letter codes which are not common, better would be order them
  according to real names.

Nitpicking:

- General: Everywhere when checkboxes are used checkbox is highlighted
  when hovering on space outside of checkbox itself or label but when
  clicking nothing happens. Value of option is changed only when
  click was while hovering on checkbox or label. This is conflicting
  visual feedback - option should be changed each time when info about
  focus is given. Heh, checked few other places: this is general Qt/KDE
  problem :(
- Date & Time - IMO for date would be better to use KDE date widget, but
  I understand there are some dependency considerations

Wish:

Move "Comments editor" functionality to this new plugin and allow to
edit here also Digikam comments and other metadata not used by
EXIF/IPTC.
