Well, I can do a lot with images in dired. And maybe that is good. I can use ediff on them for example. ;-) There is a bit of consistency and usefulness missing about images. Maybe it would be good to distinguish between "viewing" and "editing" in an external program? And there is a small bug in this area in tumme.el. It does not check if tumme-external-viewer is nil in tumme-dired-display-external. We can of course save this for after the release.
