After emerging F-spot 0.3.5, the default "open" command for SVG, JPG and PNG files in (e.g.) Nautilus gets set to F-spot. This seems unwanted as a default action upon install, especially for SVG and PNG files. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge F-spot 0.3.5 2. Open a SVG, JPG or PNG file from, for example, Nautilus
yes f-spot gets as default over eog for those files i'm not sure if this is a bug. You should change that on your preferable apps.

I think that whether I set a preferred application or not should not matter in this case. If this was a dedicated imageviewer, than it would probably make more sense, but I think this is a bug in the F-spot installation.

However it's all a matter of personal preference, and we all have different opinions on this. Plus, f-spot is now the default application for photographs in GNOME so it's not a bug. Changing that in your preferred applications settings seems to be the reasonable solution chosen by upstream in this case. Denis.
