Well, I'd agree if you said having the software installed would be 
valuable for those (I guess: few?) of us doing RAW processing. But 
those could still benefit from the MIME bindings and open ufraw via 
the context menus. However, as long as ufraw does not provide a 
reasonable GUI by itself, I think its better to keep it hidden - at 
least as long as it is part of a standard desktop installation.

Plus, I believe that there is a consensus in GNOME that applications 
(e.g. file viewers like eog or evince) which are pretty useless unless 
opened with a file (i.e. which do not offer a "File -> New" menu) are 
hidden from the menu and only opened via file context.

As Bastien pointed out, if you could please split the GUI from the 
batch processing in this package and imagemagick changes recommends 
only to the latter, then I'll be satisfied enough to close this bug. ;)
