Andreas and Andreas, if one of you wants to implement an "Import from Digikam" function that works in the same way as the "Import from F-Spot", don't hesitate to drop me a line and I'll be happy to guide you through the steps needed to implement it. I wrote a summary some time ago that you can find here: http://brunogirin.blogspot.com/2010/09/adding-support-for-alien-database.html
This summary would now need to be updated to reflect the fact that the code was re-factored to take advantage of the units concept added in the latest version of the Shotwell code but the changes are not huge.
