I agree 100% about Apples UI stuff. It's very nice - especially their use of nice OpenGL to good effect. Just makes the whole experience smoother.

I perhaps didn't explain my thoughts too well, but I would never see the user even knowing there was subversion there at all. It would all be 100% transparent. What I tried to describe above was the actions taken automatically by Digikam.

I also agree that depending on SVN libs etc is not nice, so I would advocate the it's use via KProcess and running the ncessary command.

I suspect the support could be very modular. Like I say with the addtion of "hook" in digikam which is run prior to any edit on a given image, and a modification to the libkipi API to ensure expternal plugins inform the host application prior to an edit taking place such that the host application can then run it's hook would be sufficient. The rest could be done with a simple shell script (the hook) that does all the neccessary SVN commands.

All you need after that is a KIPI plugin that reads the SVN log for a given file and allows you to restore previous versions. It wouldn't be that hard. Just a couple of small design niggles to get sorted out, but other than that there would be relatively small impact on Digikam itself.
