What I'm saying is that there are different ways to work with image files, like edit, and manage/view., and that default applications, as a design constraint, can't choose which one you want to do around half of the time (if editing and viewing have similar weights). Editing has a larger cost than viewing, as it takes a longer time for image editors to load. There could be many ways to improve usability in this sense (i.e. a brainstorm may help on this issue).
