Add "open with" menu to open scans in external program

[Octavian Cudalbu]

I think a very useful addition to Simple Scan would be an option to open the scanned image with an external bitmap processing application. Maybe something like "Open with..." button or menu option. Otherwise, I need to save the image and open the desired bitmap app, then search the disk for the saved file and so on...

Thank you !

Simple Scan Bugs Bug #483393

now that we have drag&drop support (see bug above) a menu item makes sense. only question is: how will the list of offered applications be populated?

Double clicking a scanned image creates a .tiff file in the /tmp directory and that file is automatically opened in one of the installed image viewers. On Fedora 17 KDE, the image open with Gwenview. The aforementioned was quite a surprise for me, because none of the menus indicate that this is a feature available in Simple Scan. It would be reasonable to have a command in the "Document" menu that performs the same function as Double Clicking a scanned image.
