[Kde-imaging] tree view in HTMLExport?

[Wojciech Jarosz]

I created a bug report about this earlier but I filed it under
kipiplugins (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147770).

I didn't select HTMLExport as the component because when reporting
bugs it describes HTMLExport as:

"HTMLExport - HTML playlist export",

which made me think this was a different HTML export plugin, perhaps
for amarok? Is this in fact the HTMLExport plugin from kipiplugins
used by digikam? In that case I think the word "playlist" is
misleading.

Should I try to re-classify this under the HTMLExport component (and
if so, how do I do this?) or should I create a new entry?

thanks,
-wojciech
