Brief explanation : The goal is to hide the external binaries table when all the binaries are found on the system. A "Binaries' Details" button should be added, which upon clicked will show the table. If all the binaries are not found on start-up, then, the table should be shown by default (can be done by simply generating a pseudo click on the above described button once its implemented). Once it is successfully implemented here, it can be extended to all kipi-plugins which use external binaries.

No adjustment must be require by end user. As JPEG is the most used image format used in photography and as JPEG library support a loss-less crop feature, a specific way must be implemented to process JPEG crop in batch without to lose image quality.

Dependencies: Batch Queue Manager, Image Editor.
