Alex,

About the GPS kipi-plugin, this is my proposal :

1/ This week, is will created a new kipi-plugin named 'GPSSync' (or something 
like that).
2/ The plugin will include the interface to get current selected images from 
kipi-host.
3/ The plugin will provide a KListView based list of current image with all 
colums informations than your GPS application provide, including the preview 
of images, like RAW Converter plugin do. Look on the right of this 
screenshot :

4/ I will add 2 new methods in the kipi-plugins Exiv2 interface to set/get GPS 
informations in Exif metadata.

In charge for you :

- to make a interface with all common GPS file data format provided by GPS 
devices. You have already started this job in you application.
- to connect your interface in the plugin and use the kipi-plugins Exiv2 
interface to set GPS informations in images.

If all is right for you, you need to have a write access to KDE svn 
repository. Also, you need to be registred to kipi mailing list : 
kde-imaging at kde.org.

What do you thing about ?
