Shotwell will not just operate on a directory full of images; one must, instead, "import" images into the application

That instantly disqualifies it in my book. I'll stick with xv. It may be old and unmaintainted, but it works, and I've yet to find another image viewer that I prefer.

Did you try gqview / geeqie? It's really really fast, straightforward and to the point.
