Alexios ,

The first implementation of the plugin is in svn. 

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/libs/kipi-plugins/gpssync

It's not yet complete : a GPS file data parser implementation using GPSBabel 
is missing !

All others part of the plugin are done. Just look my TODO/FIXME tags in the 
source code for details.

The parser class is gpsdataparser.cpp. On this class there is a QMap container 
used to strore the GPS positions decoded from the GPS file accordinly with 
the date stamp. Just use a QMap::find() method to sync the Picture date with 
the GPS position... simple !

You need to help me to implement the parser using the GPSBabel program.
The question is how to use properly this program. Witch GPS file format to use 
in input/ouput ?
