New digiKam plugins interface is mostly done...

[Gilles Caulier-4]

Hi all, 

After 2 weeks of intensive developement in a dedicated branch, I proud to announce that i completed the first stage of the new digiKam plugins interface :

As you can see, we have more than 30 plugins now. It's a similar situation that we have with KIPI stuff. This will be available to 6.1.0 release, not 6.0.0 whitch is frozen stage now....

The second stage will start to open Batch Queue Manager to the plugin interface, and permit to use webservices tools in a workflow.

Later, i will open the image editor tool to the new plugins interface too, and permit to contributor to easily write a digiKam extension without to touch the core implementation. For ex, i would like to see somebody coding a plugins for the Qt GMic plugin, already available to Gimp, Krita, and Paint.net :

https://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt

There is also a whish to open the digiKam database interface to a plugins mechanism. All is possible if we don't fragilise the application stability and the performance. So the topic still open...

Hi,

All Batch Queue Manager tools are now ported to DPlugin API now...

Look this screenshot :

All generic tools are also ready for production (shared between digiKam and Showfoto) :

Now, it's time to port all Image Editor tools as plugins...
