Consider providing the editor as separate application

[Till Maas]

I like to use the Editor from Shutter for existing screenshots. For this it would be helpful to be able to open Shutter's editor without running Shutter, for example like:

shutter-drawing-tool file.png

You can already open existing screenshots in Shutter by dragging them into
the window or file->open.

Will that do?

This is what I currently do as a workaround (using file->open), but it is much less comfortable than beeing able to open the editor from the command line. For example I need it often while I am editing LaTeX files in vim.

It will be very helpful to have this functionality so that we can load an image in shutter editor directly while using other image viewers (like "geeqie") that allows configuring "Open With" option on the current image.
