I've keep asking Jesper (kimdaba) and Renchi (digikam) to unify there
metadata (one index.xml for kimdaba, one digikam.xml per directory
for digikam) so both apps can be used in parallel.   When/if done almost
all of your wishes are automaticly implemented ;)

There are many other KDE apps that primary task is HTML Gallery
generation. Ask the authors if there's a possibility for better
interoperation.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
