We assume an image URI
KDE is based on mimetypes and URIs
Why on earth do you want to force this architecture by forcing to open the
image with a webbrowser? If you embed the image in HTML, it should open with a
webbrowser. But opening the pure image with a Webbrowser just abuses the image
viewing capabilities of the Webbrowser to play image-viewer.
So the architectural clean thing to do IMHO (not a programmer) would be new
KRun(url) IMHO thus triggering the imageviewer. It is also consistent. Klick
on a PDF link and normally, it should open with okular.
And one of the problems of Konversation is the missing thing in the right-
click menu: "Open with" that makes KDE so strong and that allows to select
between the multiple applications available for a given mimetype. This would
allow to also open with the browser, but not by default
Best,
Rigo
