When you want to print multiple images on a page, you need to select all of them before starting the Print Assistant.  This is very cumbersome and difficult when the images you want to print are far part in the image list.

Currently, the Print Assistant allows you to add additional images by clicking the + button but this only allows you to browse the file system.  It does not allow you to browse Digikams own list of images!

If the Print Assistant Window was non-modal (ie. not forced on top), I could have gone back to the main Digikam, browsed for additional pictures and dragged those onto the Print Assistant.
This would be a much more natural way of adding pictures.  It would also allow you to select from different albums.

My guess is this extra feature is easily implemented:
1. Remove modal attribute from Print Assistant window
2. Make the Thumbnails list view in the Print Assistant window accept drag and drop from Digikam

There's really no GUI redesign needed. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In an album with lots of pictures, select 3 pictures: the first, middle and last pictures
2. Start the Print Assistant, select a page layout that allows for 4 or more pictures
3. Now try adding an additional digikam picture, from another album


Actual Results:  
In step 1, this is difficult because you can't see all 3 pictures.

In step 3, you either need to browse the file system (without the aid of digikams thumbnails), or cancel the print assistant, and select all pictures again.
If the 4th pictures is in a different album, it's not possible.

Expected Results:  
The Print Assistant window should have been non-modal, or not-on-top. 
This would have allowed me to keep the Print Assistant window open in step 3,
and let me click on the main digikam window, navigate to additional pictures and drag-and-drop added those onto the print assistent window.
