Bug 90176

Version:           0.7.0-cvs (using KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.26

I would like that kde-3.1 compatibility be maintained in digikam application
and it's dependencies ,in the 0.7.0 version that is incoming soon.

For many reasons, I can't just upgrade to kde-3.2 + my many systems (25+)
since they are freshly installed and in daily use, all around the house
and the office.

digikam is an essential application on my desktop and would like to keep it
that way. This is the best camera application on Linux i found and I am willing to help it mature to a complete and usable camera application.

(I just upgraded my wife with Linux-Kde-3.1-Digikam-0.7.0cvs from a Win-98 
previous installation , telling her that she will like linux and be more secure and the rest, and unless i can install her a camera program to download and delete the photos from her camera, she will require me to UPGRADE her to win-98 (as she says). I hope you will help me to avoid that by having digikam do at least the minimal job requested by a camera program (download, delete, view) . The delete-from-camera option is much needed and should be implemented soon, much before any esoteric options like oilpaint and similar gimp functions )

I can offer help in programming and testing the required features , and I have 2 patches around to apply on the current cvs (2004/09/24) ready to send to an official developper to be put in cvs, maintaining kde-3.1 compatibility in the digikam application.
