Description: This script takes the cover-image of a song which is currently being played in amarok and sets it as the global user photo (=avatar) in Kopete.
Following packages needed: amarok, kopete, imagemagick
Script uses dcop.
Tested with KDE 3.5.9, Amarok 1.4.9.1, Kopete 0.12.7
Installation: 1. Activate the `global idendity` in Kopete's settings.2. Install cover2kopete.amarokscript.tar.gz with Amarok's script manager (But don't activate it yet!)3. Open the script in an editor. The URL should be: ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/cover2kopete.sh4. Change line 36 (normalphoto="...") and put in an URL to a user photo which should be used when no music is being played. It shouldn't be too big (e.g. 75*75 px).5. Activate the script via Amarok's script manager.
P.S.: I know that there are scipts like this existing yet but I wanted to write my own. ;-)
