Sorry, if I gave you the impression I'm pissed of by your mail! That wasn't my 
intention.

SimpleViewerExport (the kipi-plugin) creates a configuration file and the 
image files/thumbnails which are later used by SimpleViewer (the flash prg).
A new directory is created, which contains all these files.
This part is GPL licensed by me and is free to ship with every distribution, 
at least there is nothing special to other kipi-plugins.

To display the gallery you need to copy the SimpleViewer flash file into the 
same directory where the configuration file is located. This can be done by 
the user for every gallery he creates manually, but I that sucks ;-) So the 
kipi-plugin points the user to the download page of the flash file and copies 
it in his home folder for further use. Now, the plugin is able to export the 
albums, create the config file and copies the flash file into the export 
folder.

The flash file is free to use but uses a license different from GPL. To avoid 
problems for packagers I decided _not_ to include these files into the 
kipi-plugin.
