As someone new to ksnapshot / KF5 / KIPI I was often stuck at this place, so I thought this could help others to get some hints. In a README this would also bitrot, wouldn't it? :-) - But I since it is matter of taste, I will place it in a new README file. Currently, there is no existing one which I could use, right?

I did a quick for something like this but I found nothing. I will ask the KIPI team about this issue.
