[gentoo-user] photo viewer other than gthumb?

[Grant]

Can anyone recommend a photo browser/viewer other than gthumb which is
in portage or an overlay?

gwenview. Part of KDE suite and depends on KDE libraries. Also, F-Spot 
(It's a photo manager I guess).

Here's another vote for Gwenview...  Once it's set up to have all of
Gthumb's keyboard shortcuts ;).

The only thing I don't really like about gwenview is its low speed. It takes a
few seconds to load when I just want to see an image, and also needs some time
to render the next image. For that purpose, kuickshow is a better alternative.
It also pages through images much faster, at the cost of quality (though this
can be configured) and a little jerkiness when the image gets displayed.

There are those and those.  But there are more of those than those.

I'll have to give Kuickshow a shot then.  Gwenview could use a Clone
Window command too, but at least it still has an editable location
bar.

gqview became geeqie, FWIW. I don't recall the full story, but IIRC,
gqview stagnated, and geeqie is a fork.

Thanks ... I'm an old CLI dinosaur and display has been working for me fine
for so many years. Something recently changed where it's not going from one
file to the next in a directory. Also, there was something else I used to
generate thumbnails, but I forgot. Just emerge geeqie ... btw ... gqview
was just recommended to me 2 days ago in #gentoo ;)

For quick commandline viewing I use  xv, it is simple, just shows the
image, can show multiple images (space, backspace to go through them, q
to quit,) and  a few other resize / rotate options, if you rightclick on
the image, you get a 'menu' window with all the options and a list of
the images...

I use Gwenview to review collections & Feh to browse from a terminal:
I've used them a long time & strongly recommend both;
if you're allergic to KDE, Geeqie mb a useable alternative.

Yeah, that was it ... feh



mingdao@t420 ~ $ grep feh good_commands  feh -t -Sfilename -E 128 -y 128 -W
1024 *



Now to figure out how to keep that page of thumbnails from overflowing my
1600x900 Fluxbox desktop.

I have a Bash alias :  alias feht='feh -td -E 150 -y 150 -W 1800' ;
'feh <filespec>' shows a slideshow of successive pictures,
while 'feht <filespec>' shows an array of thumbnails inside the screen.

Assuming you are including viewers which require X :) I use geeqie for
browsing whole directories of images, pqiv for viewing single images
(typically called from midnight commander)
