I love xv - it's my go-to JPEG viewer. Its command-line interface is dead simple, and it's lightweight and fast. It has one problem, though: it can't display many newer JPEG files. It comes up with the message: <filename>: Unsupported JPEG process: SOF type 0xc2 I have to fall back to another viewer (usually ristretto, which I really don't like) to view these files. (Working on a file that xv likes with the Gimp is one good way to make a file it doesn't like.) The latest version I've been able to find is 3.10a. Is there a newer version out there that can handle all JPEGs? -- cgi...@surfnaked.ca (Charlie Gibbs)
