External tools
External tools are programs which Gwenview can start to do various things with your images. They are available when you right-click on an image in the "External tools" sub menu.
Gwenview comes with a few predefined external tools, such as "Set as wallpaper", but you can very easily add more of them using the external tool dialog. This dialog is available from the menu: "Settings > Configure External Tools...".
