Oh, didn't know that. Ok then, the example applies.

Yes.

Yes - just like the case of kate and HTML text.
But how do you differenciate this case with the one above? They're the

it seems it would give less problems (the non-preferred image viewer case)
than the current situation (HTML source in kate).
