[KPhotoAlbum] Storing metadata in images

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

Lots of time. The buttom line is
1) By default do not touch the images
2) Second, by non default do not touch the images
3) only after a person has signed 10 copies of a lack of warranty document, 
you may touch the images. ;-)

Seriously. KPhotoAlbum 2.2 started using the Exiv2 library, since it is 
capable of storing info in IPTC format, which is the format intended to be 
used. This is still on my todo list to do one day.

Cheers
jesper.

PS: Searching for IPTC may show up something.
