Not an idea
At the present, I see one minor and one major usability problem with EOG.
First, a friend of mine tried to switch to Full Screen view by doubleclicking the picture, as she was used to from her favourite Windows picture viewer. Of course, this did not work the way she expected - nothing happened.
Second, on slower computers it is impossible to view a series of larger (say 10Mpix) photos quickly, because it takes too long to switch to the next photo.
Solution #1:
Make a dialog appears when users try to rename filename and allow to convert img

When a user rename the filename of an image, we should make a dialog appears to allow converting the image in the wanted format.
The dialog may :
- warn about the degradation of image quality (for example in case of renaming from png to jpg)
- allow to keep the original image
- allow to just renaming without converting the image

I think that files could been converted automatically. We must only provide sets of desktop files, where we describing tools to convert jpg bitmap(or theora video) into another codec/format.
How it could works:
- GIMP cannot open some graphic file. It asks special API to convert this file into understable format.
- Patrick will send movie via e-mail or send via ftp protocol. Before transaction begins, program will asks Patrick to convert file into another format.

Add the option to right-click->Change Format
This could work on images, audio, etc. Each of those would have it's own default program that the user could change in the same way he changes other default programs.
