--- Comment #7 from Fredrik Viklund <fred...@viklund.se> ---
Agree this would be a very valuable setting! In many cases, the default
application for opening a photo (e.g. photo viewer) is not the same I use to
edit the photo (e.g. Gimp or RawTherapee). Also, it would be extremely useful
to be able to choose between two or more applications to edit or process a
file. It would be a great addition on all platforms.

It can be implemented in many ways. A flexible solution would be:
* In settings dialogue, add a tab for "External tools" where the user can
define external tools by setting:
  - Name (in context menu)
  - path to executable
  - command line options (including suitable variables for current file name
and path)
  - file types for which the tool should be displayed in the context menu

Simpler, but less flexible, is to define some common tools where the user can
give the path to the executable. An example can be found in RawTherapee.
