In my opinion, this is fixed in Oneiric, the latest development release, so this should be set to Fix Released. Oneiric has the new control center from gnome, and the System Info applet's Default Applications section (the same as the Preferred Application was on previous versions) does seem to have a combobox to set the default image viewer, called Photos, see the screenshot attached. Is this enough to satisfy your needs, and to close this bu ? If not, what else would need to be done here? --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad
