Since the filename of an image often (reasonably) describes the image,
"identify-thing-from-image"-type prompts are accidentally sabotaged
by the image viewer showing the filename in the window title,
removing the challenge (the reviewing user could glance at
the title bar).

As facilitated by a Very Convenient and Recent iv update,
Memoire can now force a more pragmatically relevant alternative
title format when displaying images.
