    ext_editor.lua - edit images with external editors

    This script provides helpers to edit image files with programs external to darktable. It adds:
      - a new target storage "collection". Image exported will be reimported to collection for further edit with external programs
      - a new module "external editors", visible in lightable and darkroom, to select a program from a list 
      - of up to 9 external editors and run it on a selected image (adjust this limit by changing MAX_EDITORS)
      - a set of lua preferences in order to configure name and path of up to 9 external editors
      - a set of lua shortcuts in order to quick launch the external editors
    
  USAGE
    * require this script from main lua file
  
    -- setup --
      * in "preferences/lua options" configure name and path/command of external programs
      * note that if a program name is left empty, that and all following entries will be ignored
      * in "preferences/shortcuts/lua" configure shortcuts for external programs (optional)
      * whenever programs preferences are changed, in external editors GUI, press "update list"

    -- use --
      * in the export dialog choose "collection" and select the format and bit depth for the
        exported image
      * press "export"
      * the exported image will be imported into collection and grouped with the original image
      
      * in lighttable, select an image for editing with en external program 
      * (or in darkroom for the image being edited):
      * in external editors GUI, select program and press "edit"
      * edit the image with the external editor, overwite the file, quit the external program
      * the selected image will be updated
      or
      * in external editors GUI, select program and press "edit a copy"
      * edit the image with the external editor, overwite the file, quit the external program
      * a copy of the selected image will be created and updated
      or
      * use the shortcut to edit the current image with the corresponding external editor
      * overwite the file, quit the external program
      * the image will be updated
    
    * warning: mouseover on lighttable/filmstrip will prevail on current image
    * this is the default DT behavior, not a bug of this script

  CAVEATS
    * MAC compatibility not tested
  
  BUGS, COMMENTS, SUGGESTIONS
    * send to Marco Carrarini, marco.carrarini@gmail.com
