digiKam from trunk (KDE4) : Camera Gui improvements : camera interface is now based on KXmlGuiWindow instead KDialog.

By this way, the interface is more homogenous with the rest of digiKam (album gui, light table, image editor). It will be more easy to add new options in interface using standard menu (the old one been very limited to 3 simple buttons to host options). The layout is now fully optimized to preserve space between widget.

This version use a status bar where a progress bar is used when camera is busy. A zoom widget set the thumbs size, and a naviguate bar set set current item selected in icon view.

With this version, XMP metadata viewer is available.

It's planed to use this new interface to import new pictures from everywhere (not only from camera). Currently digiKam use a very limited dialog to import files/folders without any import options.
