[KPhotoAlbum] checksums - a BIG thank you and two small problems

Hello,

recently I reordered the structure of my photo collection.
KPA just worked fine, thanks to the MD5 checksums KPA recognized almost
all of the photos at the new place ! Just great !

I only came across two minor problems:

1. The photos on the blocklist don't have checksums
...and so they don't get updated. So all my blocked photos showed up again:
 <blocklist>
  <block file="2005/Christof/img_0562.jpg" />
  <block file="Norwegen/panos/pano30.8./summe.tif" />
  <block file="Norwegen/panos/pano28.8/summe.tif" />
...

I would like to see checksums for the blocklist too.

2. part of the photos weren't found, due to edits of the photos.
(So the checksum didn't match anymore)

Maybe KPA should "nag" the user from time to time to update the checksum ?

(I solved both problems by editing the index.xml by hand - another nice
feature of KPA. Even when KPA supports a database as backend, I would
still like to keep an import/export to/from xml, if only just for tricks
like that.)

Martin
