Bug Description

Hi, I think, it is kind a confusing to have 2 images viewers/managers. Always when I need to crop image, I must open shotwell from eog or so.

Problems:

1. Shotwell does not support SVG files
2. I would prefer to move toolbar to top from bottom
3. Fix bug to open PNG in shotwell when is default (now eog, only jpg opens in shotwell)

thank you for your bug report, it was reported before but as you point it shotwell doesn't support non photo format, you can list gif or bmp as well as svg in those categories

yep, I would prefer something like, use Shotwell for all of them (even just to display image, not crop and so on in SVG, ...), to have same interface, buttons can bu just grayed with some tooltip that you cannot edit SVG and so in it
