Re: [Usability] Image Viewing vs. Editing

[Jacob Beauregard <jake13jake comcast net>]

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).
