It could possibly be added as a KService, but I don't 
know if Digikam's architecture is amenable to this 
(plugins would handle displaying of certain EXIF 
tags?). If it can't be made into a KService, there's 
not much we can do about it. If it can be, I'd expect 
4.4 to be the earliest you can expect it. Mind linking 
the bug you filed here?
