>As KipiImageInfo?

This depend. For multithreaded tool, KUrl is used, for others KipiImageInfo. At
least Kurl list is always generated from KipiImageInfo is main thread.

In fact, i think lock item feature is very important in digiKam, outside
kipi-plugins/libkipi because of new BatchQueueManager. Lock items must be done
internally in digiKam following BQM activity and after extended to
kipi-interface.

I think libkipi no need to be changed a lots here. The main implementation
staying in kipi host core + kipi host interface.

To resume :

1/ a plugin ask to host to play with items. 
2/ host lock items because there are processed by an external tool.
3/ in gui, a mark must be visible over icon to bring user about lock state.
4/ when plugin is done, kipi host unlock items.

I think 1/ and 4/ need small change in libkipi to request lock/unlock in kipi
host from plugin.
