[Digikam-devel] Feature idea: query ws.geonames.org for location name

[Gilles Caulier]

Marcus.

I have tested the web site, and feature is excelent. I recommend you to make
a new wish in Bugzilla, into kipi-plugin/GPSSync component.

I will take a look how to implemente it when i will port this plugin to
KDE4...

Thanks in advance

Gilles Caulier
