Export file to 3rd party editit manager i.e Affinity Pixel

[Gilles Caulier]

Look at the samples here :

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/tree/master/core/data/applications?ref_type=heads

For the FastTone image viewer for ex:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=FastStone Image Viewer
X-Exec=FSViewer.exe %f
X-Icon=FSViewer.exe
MimeType=image/jpg;image/bmp;image/png

So for the Affinity Pixel we can have something like that:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=AffinityPixel Image Viewer
X-Exec=affinity.exe %f
X-Icon=affinity.exe
MimeType=image/jpg;image/bmp;image/png


I don't know if the application executable is "affinity.exe" and if the
image type supported is only jpeg, bmp and png.
