Go ahead, the student who wrote this piece of code never showed up
again to finish what he started, even though he told me he would when
I contacted him. I am really disappointed by him and I am pretty sure
this code will never be finished. I have no problem with you using its
name for your plugin.

Concerning the goal of his plugin, I think it was to get information
from a file processed by photivo and display them in digiKam, which is
the opposite of what your doing (but I may be wrong). Both
integrations are interesting, and I would be happy to see a better
interaction between the two softwares.
