Description
... and include it in Ubuntu as default, because I just don't see why the user should have to open up the enormous GIMP just to be able to do some simple cropping or resizing on an image...
There also needs to be a simple plugin for editing colors. Like changing the amount of color in the image, contrast, etc.

The temporary solution would be to use Gthumb, and it was actually included in previous releases along with Eye of GNOME.

We can kick out EoG, but leave Gthumb as the default image viewer, imo.

EoG is a viewer, not a editor.

Eldmannen: yes, but that's why they have a plugin system...... Ubuntu should use it. Or maybe replace it with Gthumb. Why should you have to open up GIMP, _three windows_ and an awful load time, just to resize a picture for instance? ...

F-Spot has basic image editing features and is installed by default.

I like the logic of "It's an image viewer so it should do that: view images", but when I reflect, it seems to me that our default image program should have very basic image editing tools. Rotate, resize...maybe that's it.
Voted yes.

(In that post it might not have been clear, but I was not necessarily saying to implement this in EoG, but that whatever program is used should perform this way.)

I'm not sure why gthumb was removed from Ubuntu. It was better at importing than F-Spot, better at viewing than EoG, and easier to quickly edit images than to do so in GIMP. F-Spots inability to import video/sound, and EoGs inability to view animated GIFs and do simple edits... it seems like a big step backward to me.
F-Spot isn't generally used for images, but for a Photo Library. So unless an image is imported into its Library, it cannot be edited as far as I can see. And if we want to argue that EoG should only be an Image Viewer, then file a bug report because it has the ability to convert/save images.
Resize and Crop are currently in the EoG Roadmap. However, they have been on the Roadmap for well over a year, and work doesn't even seem to have been begun on either.
On the Gnome 2.24 Roadmap, EoG is planned to have a "set of default plugins" but I'm not sure if it includes these. This is also a request in the Bugzilla, but has no acknowledgment.
I don't really understand why things like Editable Toolbar get priority over animated gif viewing, and simple editing features that people have wanted for several years.
So as far as I can tell... at its current state, it will be at least another year.

I wholly support this. Many people do not need the power of the GIMP for simple editing and do need to import their entire collection to F-spot just to edit a single picture. I often need to download a picture from the web, crop it and upload it back up. For this I make Gthumb my default viewer but I can't see why the viewer should not have a simple editing function , I think uniting the viewer and a simple editor would make Ubuntu much simpler , there is no need to open a new application just to do simple editing
