I certainly was not and at first glance it seems to fit the bill. I went to /usr/share/wallpapers and typed "display *png &" and after about a minute I am happily cropping, resizing, and tweaking colours. I can also merrily spacebar my way through the directory. Just left-click on the image and I think you will find much more than a scripting interface. Obviously I have not spent a lot of time on it but the quality looks ok to me. I was almost ready to go off and program "lwnedit" but now I think it would be a waste of time.

The Grumpy Editor's Guide to Image Viewers Posted Mar 24, 2004 5:17 UTC (Wed) by josh_stern (guest, #4868) [Link] I believe that the "display" you are talking about isactually the graphical user interface to the ImageMagick package of utilities, such as it is. One can certainly criticize some usability features of display, but I also wondered why it wasn't mentioned in the context of ImageMagick's dismissal in the article.
