[Kde-imaging] Re: [Digikam-users] Thumbnails and captions in Print Wizard

[Caulier Gilles]

I'm happy to see your comeback Tood.

I CC your mail to kipi mailing list. Please use this @ for the future :

kde-imaging at kde.org.

Digikamplugins are now ported to KDE CVS like KIPI project. You can find more 
informations about KIPI  at the officiel web page :

http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kipi.php

I will update the Roadmap with your TODO list.

Thanks for your help in advance.
