[Bug 1503602] [NEW] Eog should show an Open with... menu item in the global menu under Unity

 

Public bug reported:

Hello,

currently Eog in Wily lacks a discoverable "Open with..." menu item
under "Image" in its menu bar when using Unity, so I propose to add it
there.

The "Open with..." functionality is currently only avaiable from the
context menu when you right click somewhere in the image, but that's not
very discoverable.

When using Eog under Ubuntu Gnome, the "Open with.." item is integrated
into the menu of the "Hamburger button" in the toolbar on the top right.

Previous versions of Eog (untill Vivid) had the ability to customize the
toolbar and add an "Edit image..." button, which I'm missing a bit, and
the "Open with..." functionality is the most viable replacement for this
at the moment, so it should not be made too hard for existing users to
discover that.

Kind regards,
Jan
