Great idea, because for me EDIT WITH EXTERNAL TOOL opens the standard
windows photo viewer, where I have no editing capabilities

Yes, but if you ever right-clicked an image in Windows Photo Viewer you
could have realized that the context menu it contains an “Open With” item.
And as the program’s name says, it is a *viewer*. Why should you have
editing capabilities there?

Well, of course I know that the Windows Photo Viewer is only a viewer and has
no editing capabilities and this is from my point of view exactly the
inconsistency in LO and what I wanted to say and as I understood Jay.  The LO
context menu says EDIT WITH EXTERNAL TOOL and not OPEN WITH EXTERNAL TOOL.  And
as a user if I see/select EDIT I expect that I can edit it directly with an
image editor and not maybe only open it and maybe later edit it after further
mouse clicks.  Otherwise, we should maybe rename it to OPEN WITH EXTERNAL TOOL
then this would from my point of view be more consistent, because this could
then be a viewer and also an image editor.
As you wrote Windows Photo Viewer also uses the term "Open with" and we use
Edit With, but in real we have to admit that is actually currently only an Open
With?

But from my point of view I would prefer to have the possibility to open an
image editor directly from LO, because I don't need a simple viewer, because I
can see the image already in LO, but I can not really edit it there.  But if I
edit it in the image editor then the changed image must also appear in LO (is
this already the case?).  

Is my understanding right, that you want to keep that it could be opened with
the windows photo viewer?  And if yes, what would you then think about a
renaming to "Open With External Tool"?  What is your opinion?
