--- Comment #3 from caulier.gil...@gmail.com ---
WARNING : with digiKam 6.0.0 and later, we will not support kipi interface
anymore. All tools are now located in digiKam core as well for a plan to
provide a more power-full integration with Batch Queue Manager and to be able
to export a workflow on a web-service.

All export tools are now available everywhere : album view, Image editor, Light
table, and Showfoto. Previously, only album view from digiKam core was able to
deal with export tools through libkipi.

All export tools are now located here :

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/utilities/assistants/webservices

All export tools use now a dedicated interface to communicate with the
application : 

- digiKam (database) : 

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/libs/database/utils/ifaces/dbinfoiface.h

- Showfoto (files metadata) : 

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/utilities/assistants/common/dmetainfoiface.h


There is not direct use of digiKam database for compatibility with Showfoto.

We plan later to provide a dynamic loading of export tools using a plugins
mechanism. This will reduce overloading of the internal core libraries. A
dedicated devel branch have been created for that, but it's not yet complete:

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/?h=development/dplugins

But take a care, digiKam export tools as plugins will not be shared with
another external application. API will still private and only shared between
Showfoto and digiKam core. The experience with libkipi was bad and complex to
maintain/extend in time.

--- Comment #2 from Kusi  ---
This feature is wanted more than ever! It is for sure too much work to start
from scratch, but a (upload only) synchronization to a popular platform such as
Flickr/Google/SmugMug etc... should be feasable in a reasonable amount of time.

What's missing from the current KIPI Web Export plugins

- Automatization: upload in the background on image/metadata changes
- Automatically mirror the folder structure of Digikam online
- Ability to choose which files are automatically synchronized (e.g introduce a
Publish flag as proposed 13 years ago, or having a minimal amount of stars)
