[Digikam-devel] Slideshow actions in digiKam and KIPI

[Andi Clemens]

I have patched digiKam to load all KIPI-Plugins into one collection. Only 
MetadataEdit will have its own collection, since it has many actions. See 
attached  screenshot.

What do you think?
If you don't like it I would still suggest to rename the Advanced Slideshow 
plugin and create a dedicated actionCollection for the built-in slideshow.
