    Krita is KDE/Qt, so that makes it pretty much out of question.


Krita is also a digital painter.

I would be against replacing ristretto with something that tries to be both a viewer and editor. The image viewer should load instantly and handle multiple instances gracefully, which rules out things like shotwell and gthumb for me.

As I discussed in IRC with Bruno yesterday, we aren't looking to drop or replace Ristretto for now.

As for what comes for image viewers/photo collection managers, I don't think those are generally a suitable replacement for GIMP; with them, you can't create new images or image compositions, only edit/polish existing ones. That said, I would consider that ability a requirement for the replacement for GIMP, if any are up for consideration.

Cheers,
Pasi
