Michael, though I haven't tested it yet, this sounds like an extremely
nice set of features. Thanks a lot!!!

Just two remarks, also related to Mikolaj's last comment:
When a "cluster" only contains one image, it might be nice that on 
mouse-over one sees a little thumbnail image (just a few pixels).
In principle this could be realized by a few lines of simple kml
(though it might be that marble does not support the corresponding elements
yet;
at least last time I checked it did not work). If that's of interest,
I could post an example on how to do that.

In addition to using auto-clustering of geo-localized images, there
is also another approach: for example for a holiday trip 
one may select one image which represents the whole trip.
This image (with a special marker) becomes visible on a (specified) 
low zoom level (ie far away). Then for each day of a trip one can
define further selected images, which become visible at other zoom levels (ie
when zooming in).
I am using something like this for quite a while via google-earth
with some additional files in each digikam folder and some 
hand-written python scripts. 
Having such type of functionality integrated in digikam might be of interest
to others as well.
(I am aware that this is in a different direction than the clustering,
but in combination this would be very cool ...).

Best, Arnd
