[KPhotoAlbum] Re: Excluding folders

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

Ahh OK.
Well it is way to late in the process for next release for me to accept a 
patch like this. sorry.

If the feature should a stand a chance in the next release, someone need to 
send me a polished patch, which includes a nice user interface to configure 
it.

Kind Regards
Jesper.
