I hadn't compiled geeqie in a while, so I did a quick `svn up; make; make 
install` today.  Things are looking nice.  However, I have some questions about 
how the new Editors work:

1) How do I disable ones that I don't care about?  Sure, Viking (a GPS/mapping 
app) may be able to do something with certain image files, but I'm never going 
to use it to open a photo.

There are "Hidden" checkboxes, but none is interactive (they're all grayed 
out), 
and they seem to be checked/unchecked with no rhyme or reason.

2) How do I reorder them?  Previously, I had them ordered in descending order 
by 
frequency, and I'd like to be able to do the same now.

3) I want to be able to use .desktop files that are stored in arbitrary 
locations.  For instance, I keep my svn copy of GIMP under ~/usr/svngimp/... 
because I don't want it to interfere with my environment unless I explicitly 
choose to use it.

Previously, I could just use ~/usr/svngimp/bin/gimp-2.7 as an editor command. 
Now, it seems like I want to copy or symlink 
~/usr/svngimp/share/applications/gimp.desktop into ~/usr/share/applications/. 
It seems like there could be better ways to do this without using symlinks all 
over the place, however.

4) The "Delete" button seems like it'll be useless in the vast majority of 
cases.  On most systems, the /usr/share/applications directory will not be 
writable by the user running geeqie.  Why not turn "Delete" into "Disable," and 
allow users to attempt to actually Delete the .desktop files with a right-click 
or something?
