you mean all the images are returned as one list? i don't see how its
useful, as the cdarchiving plugin (if it uses this list) will have to put
all the images in one folder on the cd.

imo the multiselection option is not very useful. if an album doesn't want
multiple albums, there is no point providing a selector to choose
albums.
