(Get the code!)
The bitmap I was trying to edit is indeed embedded.
The command should not be grayed out, but instead when selecting it display a message "editing is only possible for linked imaged, not embedded images" or something similar. Just graying out a command is confusing, because it just raises the question why the command is grayed out at all.
I realize this is in the manual, but honestly this change should be trivial, and it makes the application that little bit more intuitive.
The real fix, of course, is to allow editing embedded images (via a tempfile perhaps).
