Then this should, in my opinion, be a feature request in one of those
video players (preferably Totem, as it would benefit Gnome). Rhythmbox
is a music player (not a media player).

You wouldn't want F-spot to have video support either, and it also has
organization capabilities. ( I know music and video files are more
closely related than images, but do you see my point? )

etc. is very much needed. Especially documentation.
