GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 384483
Open cover in Image Viewer
Last modified: 2010-01-24 08:02:29 UTC
I find myself increasing the size of the side pane from time to time, to get a better view of the cover art. An option to open the cover in the default image viewer would be highly appreciated. Maybe a right click menu on the cover would be a good idea?
Some work on adding right-click as part of a cover art manager is going on at bug #363694.

Remaining issues: we can't do startup notification, which is a pity. Would it make sense to add a launch_with_startup_notification to lib, probably cut-and-pasted from nautilus_launch_application?
Startup notification filed as bug 411565.

Works for me. One issue is that it seems to load/index all the images in the ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/covers directory, because you can see the image position in the list of Eye of GNOME e.g. "345/1200". Is this intentional?
Nah, that's just what EOG does; it thinks it's a directory browser as well as an image viewer.
