yes, it fine if bugs are fixed by priority (:=)))

To create a stand alone version of the plugin, look how i do with DNG
converter or ExpoBlending tools. Kipiinterface is null, so pointer must be
checked everywhere and rules written accordingly in code.

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/repository/revisions/master/entry/dngconverter/plugin/dngconverter.cpp

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/kipi-plugins/repository/revisions/master/entry/expoblending/plugin/expoblending.cpp

Note that ImageList widget used in Advanced Slideshow tool is already
patched to support a null kipi interface.

Your code must be a patch against git master (next 2.0.0 release).
