It appears in the hotkey editor and on toolbar buttons, which are 
configurable.

I am not sure about this. I'd rather extend the "remote" functionality
and keep the scripts in separate processes which talks to geeqie via socket.

OK, but after 1.0.

there are 3 actions:
- use the changes (apply)
- save the changes (save) - by default the config is saved at exit, this 
triggers it immediately
- close the dialog

The buttons performs various combinations of these actions. Maybe it
could be simplified.

What exactly does not work?
For reading you have to enter the description manually, everything else should 
work fine with your fix.
For writting, it is necessary to register the namespace. The namespace 
probably has to be stored as another entry in geeqie configuration.

I think that first we need the metadata database.

Look at editor_read_desktop_file()

Hidden flag is set
- if it is set in the file explicitly
- if TryExec binary does not exist
- if there is no matching mime type
- if editor does not have arguments (%f etc.) and category is not X-Geeqie

AFAIK hugin does not accept images from commandline.

Now it should be possible to save, keep the dialog open, test the changes,
and repeat.
