Hi Gilles

When we open any album, by-default, its first image is selected. This was
justified my Marcel (in some other bug, i dont remember), that if nothing is
selected, many of the things will look disabled on the digiKam screen, and it
didnt look good , and hence he made it to select by default one. So in current
scenario, the possible solution is :

(1) - get currentSelection() size and if its one, then select the entire
folder. But it is obviously a fault, as it will give a bug when user wants to
export only one image.
(2) - make by default current selection to be zero images. then we can just see
currentSelection() size, and if its zero, we can add the entire folder.
(3) - introduce a method to distinguish between user selected images and system
selected by default images. by that, we can apply method (1) again without
resulting in a bug.
(4) - not touching the default image selections, and somehow passing a
different signal to kipi plugins when the export is clicked by right-clicking
the albums, and then correspondingly write slots for them.

What are your thoughts?

Smit
