here I thought about gwenview configuration file (XML? :-) )

Here I was double-happy to think the same than you :-D
(is there 2 persons with the same incorrect aproach? or good? :-) I will
think in positive)

Yes, XML file looks fine. Actually: I don't want to do things with DB's
and gwenview. One of the things that I expect from gwenview is to not
have DB dependencies, or internal files for everything, etc. so please,
no DB (other programs could do it...)

XML file: great! then, as Angelo Naselli said we could configure which
"in directory" music files play, which order, how many time, which kind
of transitions, etc. 

First step for this is the transitions engine. Aurélien: how do you do
this? just loading two image files to QByteArray or some Qt structure
and play with pixels? I'm curious to know. And also, any expected date
for first public testing? :-)
