OK. So you envisage each plugin using the same config
file?

Yeah I know QImage doesn't give back the raw data. For
the above I'd actually like both the QImage and the
raw data. QImage would be used by my code to check if
a photo has the bad pixel, and then the raw data would
be fed to jpegpixi. But I'd like to be able to return
the modified raw data to the app - so that the user
can then view this before saving. Sort of like how
Gwenview currently does its rotation with jpegtran.

Yup. I looked at digikam - but for for my USB camera,
the mount-point combo-box is disabled...

Yeah - I was going to provide a few options. Still
it'll be very basic, I just want a quick and easy way
to get images. 

Craig.
