True, but I was thinking copying them to the folder will mean all the
concerned images are in one place. But I understand how that can cause
other problems.

How about adding another key to the config file which comes under
"slidepaths" ? This key could hold a list of all user-added images to the
current slideshow and if the user changes the slideshow folder the paths
can be cleared.

I think this should be best option if the added images are to be remembered
even after restart while plasma-desktop is loading. Or is there another way
to remember between sessions ?
