| Bibble have also some support for IPTC

| Since there is a perl module named Image::Kimdaba and perl has
| Image::IPTCInfo. I guess it is no problem for a skilled writer to make a

| browse this dir for iptc keyword and update my index.xml
| and/or browse this dir and write IPTC info from my index.xml.
An even better solution would be to make a KIPI plugin for this *hint hint*
