ShowImage isn't the right tool for rotating, scaling and processing
your images, at least not _permanently_. It's purpose is to be an image
browser, that works in tandem with Tracker. Alt-Up/Down skipping in
Tracker folders, basically. Lightweight, clean and with a few well
designed smarts.
If you need more, get a real photo editing suite, or get/make a set of
Tracker add-ons that aids your particular workflow, but don't try to
shoehorn more into ShowImage or sub-apps. (Tracker add-ons that talk to
a running ShowImage.)
I think Tracker add-ons are nice, but Haiku can't be everything to
everyone, and we're not creating a good user experience by exposing all
possible functionality in every part of the system.
