From Konqueror and other apps I get a list of urls of the selected files /
directories. Internally it is a littlebit more difficult because the tree can
exist of  virtual an read files, and moving them within the tree (right hand
side) is not as simple as just adding a new real file.

I saw an -exclude-list command line parameter in the mkisofs man page. I'll
check what can be done with it and what restrictions exist.

I thought about an list, which points to all temporarily stored files in one
kreatecd run (not one iso image) and  the possibility for the user to decide,
if he wants to store them permanently, when he saves the project file.
