f-spot populate its 'open with...' menu automatically, depending on the
handler for the image files available on your system. So, there's no
trivial way to add a custom handler. But, if you do write a script, and
install it on your system with an appropriate .desktop file, F-Spot
should display it in the 'Open with...' menu and do the appropriate
versioning job. (tip: your .desktop file should handle uris.)
