Well before having a camera i didn't use digikam at all. That means my photos
were scanned and my albums were made by myself and a seen with 
gwenview. So I do use kipi-plugins in gwenview i'm not happy to miss them.
I saw also people appreciating kipi-plugins work only after having used them 
into an image viewer (e.g. gwenview again- sorry but i promoted it :) ),
and only after that using them in digikam as well.

I don't like the digikam showfoto (don't want a flamewar it's my opinion) so
a good image browser is better for me and moreover with kipi-plugins :)
