No need to add a button, the sharing button is on the standard
toolbar, to the right of the journal entry name.

The button is insensitive though, which means in the current version
sharing is not supported.

Yes, please make it supported.  ;-)

Perhaps this could be a library that both Paint and Image Viewer might
use.

An activity could read EXIF tags and add metadata to journal, no need
for journal to support EXIF.
