Yes there will definitely be a "one shot" upload interface in addition to the "sync" capabilities that will eventually be there.... one day ;)

One of the reasons for the delay is that while developing thing I got the idea of using a very similar API to which Kipi-Plugins themselves communicate with host applications. This followed more thoughts about what a revised version of the KIPI API would include but this has been taken off the boil as we knew it would be a post KDE4 thing. I hope that we will probably release a new KIPI API with the KDE4 release as apps will need to reimplement a reasonable amount anyway so it's an ideal opportunity.

Back to the sync tho'... if the "Sinks" (e.g. picasaweb/flickr etc.) were implemented in a libkipi compatible wrapper, then there would be the added advantage that you could theoretically use other kipi plugins to act on them!!! This would mean you could do a slideshow of your flickr photos or create a calendar form your facebook pics! Not necessarily a killer feature but a very nice side effect!

I'll spend some time this evening writing out everything on a wiki somewhere with regards to what sync needs for itself and what libkipi needs moving forward!

Cheers
