           Summary: chaining multiple image additions
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: a10323 at 11mail.be


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The existing image addition permits only 1 image to be added, then the window
closes. It would be nice if we could chain image addition, an option in the
settings or an additional "chained image addition" would be, that the window
stays open and the next image is added right next to the previous one.

additionally, the possibility to change line from with in the "add image"
window would be nice. So we can add really a lot of images painlessly.

Motivation:

Basically, the goal is that the user can easily and fast add images in html
messages out of a pool of several 1000s. A simple list is extremely aquard at
those numbers. Because of auto completion, the image addition window can handle
large numbers of images. A lot of cleaver trics can be devised for this,
properly done it would require a new module, but here i just want to ask some
trivial changes in the way the existing possibility of adding images is handled
by kmail. 

The logic is, that the user can, make easily insert images carying certain
meaning instead of using a word. Its not just for 1-2-3 big images in a
message, i'm talking more like several 10s of litle images in a single message,
that individually carry some special meaning, for the writer and the potential
receaver. The images will be used as ideograms, replacing even complicated
words. For example, in Chinese, moon, is just a stylized moon, the sun is a
stylized sun, and the word brilliant its moon and sun together. With compounds,
you can construct images carrying very abstract meanings. This is why its
needed to have a lot of help from the program, because adding images by hand
the normal way is very tedious for this kind of usage.

The theory is, that this can start as hybrid normal-writing/images and
gradually develop in to a fully fledged international, written only, auxiliary
language. I'm looking for programmers that are as crazy as me, for a program
with specialized interface for this kind of thing. Things like, fuzzy search,
data base for images, images in the spell checker, images treated like fonts,
speech to "text", artificial neurones ....

more in detail, explanation of the motivations, warning english is absolutely
terrible, i'll fix it some other time(its a wiki)
