IMHO it's better to have 2 different, however the e17 file manager
should be able to preview both (as I proposed in one of the past
GSoC).
The reason to have 2 application is that for documents you often focus
on a single document for a while, with very specific actions such as
search, annotations, bookmarks; while image you want lots of image
previews and quickly zoom into one chosen, maybe copy files or view
some parameters like exif (dates).
These days I came back from a trip and thus lots of pictures, as usual
I used gwenview to browse and organize them... but it could be a bit
better and faster, so I thought of writing one; however I stopped as
I'd generate yet-another-unfinished photo-viewer application. Then I
remembered Enki and helping it could be the way to go as Watchwolf
works on it as well. Particularly I dislike Enki's UI, but it does
work nice in my tests (no tests with flickr yet), so you could discuss
with Marina some ideas, investigate some existing software and help
the UI.
Similarly whenever I have to open Okular to read PDF I remember of
eyesight... it was a GSoC but died as nobody maintained it and code
was not good. EPDF should work, at least for the basics, but someone
need to do a proper application on top of it.
