I was aware of that. Great work but this only covers the editing part.
Is the features set of EOG going to be mimicked into F-spot --view? I'm
referring to the toolbar and general features one would expect from an
image viewer. F-spot --view is lacking in this regard.

The current plan for Lucid is to use EOG and have and editing button
or something that will open F-spot --view in editing mode. This isn't
the optimal solution IMO.

I think that you would be doing a service to users of various distros
if you made F-spot --view into F-spot Image Viewer.
