Hi Jeremy,
I thought about having the external image editor configurable but
I wasn't sure how to get the UI correct. Does the user have to choose an
editor every time they choose "edit image" and if not how do they change
their minds about which editor to use? I thought that having a preference
item would be the correct thing way to do this but that was going to be
way too much work for a plugin!
I'm curious.
Cheers
Martin
