Can't preview .xcf files without GIMP  
Written by timnwells the 5 Nov 09 at 09:16. Not an idea
In nautilus I can see a thumbnail preview of .xcf files but I cannot seem to preview them in Image Viewer. Sometimes it would be good to be able to preview a .xcf file that is still being worked on without having to open it it gimp or export it to another format.

The GNOME image viewer - add 'Edit' button  
Written by jpka the 24 Nov 08 at 15:43. Implemented
The default image viewer in Ubuntu can be much more useful, if only one 'Edit' button add to it. I mean 'Edit with GIMP', but it can configurable. This also prevents users from un-associate image file types from this viewer. Thanks.
