GQview Posted Mar 24, 2004 0:12 UTC (Wed) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] I did try GQview, actually. In the end, I dropped a few pure image viewers from the article (which is plenty long already) and GQview was one of those.
GQview Posted Mar 24, 2004 1:33 UTC (Wed) by mbp (guest, #2737) [Link] I use GQview with a hotkey bound to open the image in the GIMP. If the GIMP is already open, it loads it into the existing session, which takes much less than a second on my three-year-old machine.I also have hotkeys bound to scripted commands for common operations like rotate left, right, etc. I guess if I were really keen I could make some of the commands go through Script-Fu to run arbitrary GIMP operations. It seems more unixy (in a good way) to have a viewer call a powerful editor rather than having a half-assed editor in the viewer.

gqview Posted Mar 24, 2004 3:24 UTC (Wed) by donio (subscriber, #94) [Link] Another vote for gqview. It's fast (in can preload the next image), it has sane and somewhat customizable keyboard bindings, good full screen and thumbnail modes, good auto-zoom settings. Just the thing you need if you have to go through hundreds or thousands of images.Before gqview I was using xv. I still use it sometimes to generate thumbnail images (which gqview can use). For some reason xv's thumbnail generator is a lot faster than gqview's.
