I've of course forgot most of my questions by now ;-)
First of all, let me give you an overview
While porting I found a number of issues, I marked them all with the word
PENDING. Searching for that word should help you find the issues. I added a
comment telling what the issue was.
Many of the issues are with the plugin expecting local files. It was decided
to extend this to URL's in KIPI. Currently I just convert the URL to a local
file, but at least a warning should be issued, and in long term the plugins
should handle real URLS.
The cdarchiving plugin did seems to expect that all files for archiving was
located in one directory. This is not true with say KimDaBa. I fixed it a
number of places, but there are still some issues, e.g. in cdarchiving.cpp it
calls AddFolderTreeToK3bXMLProjectFile, previously with a directory.
KIPI doesn't have a way to tell the plugins which directory a set of images is
in (as they might not be in a common directory), so this needs to be reworked
(It's your code, right, so I hope you will continue feeling responsible for
it even after it has moved to KIPI ;-)
You did have CVS access to kde.org, right?
Finally, I've seen some plugins asking for "collection", what is that?
Cheers
Jesper
