About my plugins :

==> AcquireImages -> stable.
==> BatchProcessImages -> stable
==> CDArchiving -> Bugs to fix during beta.
==> ImagesGallery -> Bugs to fix during beta.
==> FindImages -> stable
==> MPEGEncoder -> stable
==> SendImages -> stable

Important:  'DirOperations', 'GammaCalibration', 'WallPaper' ==> Really need 
to have these plugins. These operations can be easily implemented in the 
hosts. I hope to remove these plugins. Your viewpoints ?

About the library, i have 2 points :

==> We can add a new virtual method in kipi interface when a new album is 
added to the host' image collections (like in AcquireImages or 
BatchProcessImages dialogs). This method will do nothing per default. In 
Digikam this method can be used for to call the Albums properties dialog for 
to set the Album collection, date, comments, etc.

==> Rename the 'AlbumsUseFirstImagePreview' to 'AlbumsUseImagePreview' since 
Digikam can set a specific preview image for an Album (not necessary the 
first image). We can add a new virtual method for to get the image preview 
url used by the host. This method will do nothing per default.

Let's me hear your viewpoints...
