It would be great, if the ebuild for media-gfx/showimg get a use-flag for the kipi-plugins, because I didn't use it.

I "knew" someone would request this, but I'm not in favor of it. The  kipi plugins are already used by a number of applications and my guess is that the chance isn't small that they become part of KDE 4. If I make this rather small libs optional, I have to check all scripts for invalid autodetection code. From my point of view it's absolutely not worth it. Do you insist on it?

It is not so important if that is so much work for you.
But these kipi-plugins have to many dependencies that i don't want to install (like gphoto2 and dependencies of that).
I can use gwenview instead.

Well, I'm lazy and very restrictive with use flags, too. ;) Just marked the latest showimg version stable w/o any changes, but I'll come back to your request.

Guess which plugins are supported by the Gwenview development version...
