[gentoo-user] Looking for a minimalist image viewer / organizer

Hello,

Browsing getoo-wiki.com for an image viewer, I only found Gthumb, which
depends on GNOME. I use Fluxbox because I have an older computer and would
like to keep dependencies at a minimum. Any suggestions? I only need a
viewer; organising my pictures is not a plus. No exotic formats, just jpeg,
gif and the usual.

Thanks in advance,
Vlad

You can try the Linux version of Google Picasa
http://picasa.google.com/linux/  May not be as minimal as you would like but
it works.  And they are not listing an dependencies.

give xnview a try it has not that much dependencies, just X and a few
other. i think this is because it is a binary package.

How much minimalistic? xload image? Or gqview? (the second depends on
gtk, if I remember correctly)

Work with computer has 2 phases. First, computer waits for the user to tell it what 
to do, then the user waits for the computer to do it. Therefore, computer work 
consists mostly of waiting.

media-gfx/gqview is a good image viewer/manipulator and only requires
GTK.

Tools i usually rely on are
* feh  :  uses imlib ( brags to be the fastest ) , very lightweight in
use, but an insane collection of features if you read the man pages to
see the extra tricks it can perform
* gliv :uses opengl  and gtk , making it awesome for viewing some of
those larger images using the fast and quality scaling algos of your
GPU
*fbi : ( media-gfx/fbida) which is great for viewing images when you
cant be bothered cracking open X
* anytopnm + aview : for days your feeling geeky and need to display
images in a textual representation ( black and white )
* cacaview : for days you want to demostrate how much free time geeks
have and nothing else feels like working cos your stuck on a windows
box with PUTTY.

Those sexy ascii boobs... :P

Anyway, off-the-record, "caca" is the Argentinian (and latin-american, probably) jargon word for...
well, sh*t.. :)

Andf now you know how pictures look when viewed with it. Have you ever

Lol. Thats about what most of the results look like, but its ok if
your desperate and need a general idea of what the image looks like,
and besides, it has zooom. And you've not lived until you've watched a
small video (cough cough) over a PUTTY terminal over long distance
using mplayer -vo caca. ;)

Look at the big pink blocks move!.

Hi Michal,

Thanks for suggesting  gqview; I used it briefly when I had GNOME and liked
it, but forgot about it meanwhile. GTK is one of the few toolkits I can live
with (actually, the only), since I have this organic need for Gaim ;)

Cheers,
Vlad

Hi Kent,

I'm definitely keeping this list for later use, thanks a lot for your input.

I believe that has an ugly menu which seems to think you want to edit the photo
