That's great to hear =)

I must confess I can hardly see what's the need for it to be a KOffice 
plug-in... From (the admitedly little) I know of gPhoto, the best approach to 
KDE integration is yet another KIOslave. (Actually, my personnal favourite 
would be to allow it for loopback device mounting in the kernel, or even 
adding Konqueror another root item in the left hand panel (next to 'network' 
'root' and 'home directory'), but I disgress)

Maybe as a generic clipart library plug-in for Krayon/KWord/Killustrator, but 
I still think this is better implemented as KIOslaves than anything else

Maybe you could shine some light on why/how KOffice is involved in particular?
