I see. That is to bad.
Perhaps some kind dev could modify the photo slideshow widgets that are available. In them you can select folder, and when pressed they are opened in the imageviewer.

But instead of having an actual slide show it could be modified to look exactly like the regular app shortcuts. That way we could open a specific folder in the image viewer from the desktop.
It sounds simple at least.

Any takers?
