[Kde-imaging] (No more) batch plugins in kipi

[Aurélien Gâteau]

Hello,

I just saw Gilles post about the new Batch Queue Manager in Digikam. 
This looks great, but I am quite sad this was not developed inside KIPI, 
as I thought it would be at some point [1].

Was there any technical problem preventing the development of this 
feature inside KIPI? I initially wanted to get a simple port of the 
batch plugin done. I did not port it seeing as the Batch Queue Manager 
looked much more useful. I should probably have asked about how things 
were evolving sooner.

I understand most of the work going into KIPI is done by Digikam devs 
these days, while devs from other applications (counting them... mmm... 
oh, there's only me :/, or am I wrong?) do not spend enough time on it, 
but this is not going to improve as more code is leaving from KIPI to 
Digikam.

Aurélien
