Gthumb as default image viewer?

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hello,

I've been wondering why isn't Gthumb the default image viewer? Eye of  
Gnome is unable to do the most common manipulations on a image, like  
cropping and resizing. Gthumb is also good at managing a photo  
collection in case the user does not want to use F-Spot, which is  
problematic in some cases.

 From my experiences I'd say that importing digital images to your  
computer and managing them is as common as using e-mail or playing  
music on the computer, and Ubuntu should handle those tasks by default  
as well as possible. That is not the case at the moment..
