Andrea, Colin,

There is another subject relevant of export to web service plugins : the way
to embed remote content directly in kipi host application.

Try to use last Picasa beta 3 for Linux. When you want to use picasa web
from main interface, you can see remote albums in folder view as local
folders. When you select remote album, content is displayed in icon view.
This is exactly what i want to plan for the future.

This is want mean that picasaweb, flickr, gallery plugin dialogs will
disapears... if host can embed plugins...

This require to modify libkipi in the same way that i have improved the
digiKam image editor plugin interface to be able to embed plugin dialogs in
main view, using sidebar and widget stack:
