Description

Open the Linux Mint Draw app.
Navigate to the "File" menu.
Select "Open New Image."
Observe the absence of the "View" option in the opened window.
Expected Behavior:

The "Open New Image Window" should include a "View" option, allowing users to access essential viewing options for the image.

The absence of the "View" option limits users' ability to select desired image.

Research direction

Reproduce the missing View option by following the steps in the issue, then locate the Python code that creates the GtkFileChooser for opening a new image. Compare that chooser with the app's other image-opening UI and identify the intended viewing options. Done means the Open New Image Window exposes the expected View option and it works for selecting image views.
