Hi,

Maybe this will be useful for KImage; kview II was designed with a simple
plugin system where image operations can be defined by reimplementing a
virtual function or two from the base plugin class. Unfortunately I ended
up writing so much stuff that should have been in kdelibs (KAction and
some context sensitive help stuff) that I decided to pursue that so that
all apps could benefit from it.

PS. Currently my KAction stuff allows you to make a menu with code like
this:

mb << "Load" << "Save" << "Quit";

where the strings are the names of actions. Now I am trying to get the
equivalent functionality of KAccel (a config dialog needs to be written)
after which this can make quite a few things a bit easier...
