[KPhotoAlbum] Proposal for a third type of "media"

[Tobias Leupold]

Hi Robert!

The idea seems plausible, but what benefit would we have facing the fact 
that we can't display those files (and thus also not attach any tags to 
them)? Do you think of file management operations like moving those files 
around with the associated images?

Perhaps, I simply don't get it at first glance ;-)

Cheers, Tobias

PS: You don't want to get a KDE developer account with write access to the 
KPA repository, will you? I mean, you have been quite a hardworking KPA 
developer lately :-)
