The web export plugin would be a good candidate: it wants only one 
ImageCollection to get the name and comment.

I think the selector could have the following API:

class AlbumSelector {
  void setMultiSelection(bool);

  // Returns the selected image collection.
  // Only valid if multi collection is off
  ImageCollection imageCollection() const;

  // Returns the images of all selected image collection.
  // An image won't appear twice in the returned list.
  KURL::List images() const;
}

What do you think about this?
