Sorry, my opinion changed a bit, that's why you get confused. I originally 
wanted to use your Interface::Browser idea which would remove all needs for 
the allAlbums() thing, but since you don't seem to like it anymore, I forget 
this (look, look, I'm making compromise :-D !).

What I want now is:
- All dialog based plugins use a libkipi widget (KIPI::AlbumSelector) to
  select albums. 
- All dialog less read-only plugins use currentSelection() or currentScope().
- All dialog less plugins which modifies images use currentSelection() only.

Does anyone agree on this?
