The image editor is part of digikam, an extra main window like the light table 
or the camera ui. It's the image editing facility of digikam. It cannot exist 
on its own.

> Showfoto has access to tagging info, and a browser much like digikam.

Showfoto has no access to tags, ratings, comments, as it is not based on 
digikam's database. It's an image viewer and editor. It's there because it's 
easy to do reusing the image editor code. You do not need to use it at all if 
you use digikam.
