feature request: photo retouching workflow

[Alexander Rabtchevich <alexander v rabtchevich gmx net>]

Hello. Is it possible to implement several features which can make a 
photograph's life easier?
1. Add a shortcut to "Edit with GIMP" action. Be able to edit such menu 
entries - add, delete, modify.
2. Monitor the directory of currently viewed image for external changes. 
E.g. I invoked GIMP of UFRaw via menu of F-Spot, edited the image and 
saved to another name in the same directory. I would like to see the new 
image being imported to the database and its icon appeared automatically 
(as xnview on Windows does - it automatically creates thumbnail file to 
a new photo in the currently opened directory).

With respect
