[Digikam-users] digiKam hotplugging

[Oliver Dörr]

Hi Gerhard,

all this bugs will be fixed with version 0.3.3, which i want to release 
this weekend. It will bring a also code to detect a ruinning instrance 
of digikam and react on this. If you don't mind, then i will send you 
the version directly and hope that you could test it on your box.
