Description:
 KSquirrel is a new image viewer, simple and
convenient in usage.

While all others use another's decoders, in
KSquirrel image decoding is based on own decoders
(ksquirrel-libs) which format is very simple. If
support of certain format FMT is necessary for
you, you can write the decoder for KSquirrel,
compile and copy in /usr/lib/ksquirrel-libs. At
desire you can use ksquirrel-libs in other image
viewer. 

Due to usage OpenGL show and a manipulation the
image is characterized by extreme speed :). Also
in the program customized filters, external
programs, tree, thumbnails, extended thumbnails
with the information on the image, flexible
options, etc. are available.
