[ui-review] "Open with <default png handler>" on screenshot dialog

UI review: On the screenshot dialog: - possibly 'open with <default png handler>' button useful?
Andrew, I'm not really sure what this is refering to, maybe you could comment again. Sorry for the spam buddy :-) I'm going to close this later in the ui-review period if there aren't any more comments since there haven't been any on it for over a year.
Closing this one, feel free to reopen it. Sorry.
This was a request for an option button labelled, for example, "Open with GIMP" if GIMP was your default editor for PNG images. Or "Open with EOG" or whatever. The idea was people might want the screenshot to be opened straight into a program instead of saved.
But it needs to be saved to be opened by the GIMP or EOG, doesn't it?
Maybe putting a checkbox below the radio buttons that would allow you to open it with an application after it's saved. The application to use could be a dropdown list of the applications that can handle PNGs and defaulting to the default PNG handler. Including an "Other" that would allow you to browse would be good too. A better solution than a two-step save-and-load-in-app would be to allow communication between gtk-based apps to send data between them so that there would not need to be a separate save step...but that is outside the scope of this bug.
