[Shotwell] suggestions

[Jim Nelson]

Hi Florin,

In fact, Shotwell does have a photo viewer mode similar to what you're
asking.  If you right-click on a JPEG file you can select to view it
with Shotwell.  The photo viewer will navigate through the directory's
contents (currently JPEG only, although more formats are on the way).
All the editing tools you have in library mode are available here as
well.  The only difference is, when you save your changes, they're
written directly to the file.  (In library mode, we're
non-destructive.)

The one thing not available is a directory browser; I've added a
ticket for this: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1883
