| If we agree on having libkipi (not the host app) supply a widget for album
| selection (I'll call it KIPI::AlbumSelector for now), then we can have an
| AlbumSelector::images() method for plugins which needs it.
| The current* methods should only be used by dialog-less plugins.
| As far as I'm concerned, I think the current* methods are ok. Plugins which
| modify the images should use currentSelection() only, plugins which only
| read images should use either one of the three methods.

In that case, I'm utterly confused. Aurelien, please state your complete 
suggestion of what you want changed compared to what it is today.
