OK, I will checked that...

OK !

Hum, CdArchiving use the « Albums library » concept -> One folder for to merge 
all Albums. Actually, Digikam use one subfolder for each album (like iphoto 
i'm think... dixit Renchi), but in the future, Digikam will supported 
subfolder (for 0.7.0).

So, In CDarchiving, I ready for that :

-> K3b XML project creation -> Save the selectied albums and the subforders in 
(backup).

-> HTML gallery -> just an option to enable during the process...

Sure... But, I must fix Digikam for to use LIBKIPI before...

Yes. My CVS name is 'cgilles'.

The collection is a concept for to sort the Albums in the Digikam Albums 
library. Look the screenshoot.
