KDE-Integration of Gallery3 using "kio-gallery3"

Hello all,
as I long time user of Gallery2 I now really missed a convenient way to upload items into Gallery3. The flash-based uploader simply does not work for me and the html based one is so horrible to use, that it often kept me and others from uploading pictures at all. So I finally decided to do something about it:

Today I released version 0.1.0 of 'kio-gallery3', a kio slave integrating a gallery3 item hierarchy into the local file system of a KDE desktop. This means all items can be accessed and controlled transparently as if they were local files. You can drap&drop items using a plain file manager, create, rename and delete albums, integrate gallery3 content into other applications, start a local slide show application displaying remote content from a gallery3.
This initial release certainly is buggy and limited. Future versions might add additional actions, performance enhancements and become more stable. However for me it already works, so it was time to set it free. The slave uses the G3 RESTful API as a backend and deals with authentication as expected. It may also be used anonymous if guest access to the API is enabled inside Gallery3. The RESTful API is a very sleek and future safe API, congratulations. But unfortunately it does not easily allow direct deep access to single items somewhere inside the hierarchy.

I write this message to invite all KDE users (GNU/Linux, MacOS or MS-Windows) to have a try with this. I am certainly happy for all comments, contributions and assistance.

Have fun !
