Comment 3 for bug 696766

Description of problem:

I'm raising this issue here because there's a serious usage problem for business
users who have large collections of multi-page tiff scans and also want to be
able to nicely display tiff photos. This problem results from the dichotomy of
display of different types of tiff images between eye of gnome and evince.

Many businesses have large collections of scanned documents in tiff multi-page
fax format, but the default action in fedora for display of tiff images is eye
of gnome which currently can only display the first page of such images, which
seems to be a shortcoming in it.

Evince can display multi-page tiff, so you might say to change the default
program to display tiff to evince? Well that is possible, but then all tiff
files including colour images are displayed with evince. Nautilus lets you
choose the program to display tiff files with but other programs (eg thunderbird
email) don't. If you choose evince as default viewer, the characteristics of
evince aren't always really ideal for display of all images and eye of gnome is
suited better to displaying some images.

How can this issue be dealt with? Can eye of gnome be made configurable to exec
another program eg evince when invoked with multi-page tiff files???
