 Thanks ... I'm an old CLI dinosaur and display has been working for me fine
 for so many years. Something recently changed where it's not going from one
 file to the next in a directory. Also, there was something else I used to
 generate thumbnails, but I forgot. Just emerge geeqie ... btw ... gqview
 was just recommended to me 2 days ago in #gentoo ;)

For quick commandline viewing I use  xv, it is simple, just shows the
image, can show multiple images (space, backspace to go through them, q
to quit,) and  a few other resize / rotate options, if you rightclick on
the image, you get a 'menu' window with all the options and a list of
the images...

Assuming you are including viewers which require X :) I use geeqie for
browsing whole directories of images, pqiv for viewing single images
(typically called from midnight commander)

 Gthumb's keyboard shortcuts ;).

The only thing I don't really like about gwenview is its low speed. It takes a
few seconds to load when I just want to see an image, and also needs some time
to render the next image. For that purpose, kuickshow is a better alternative.
It also pages through images much faster, at the cost of quality (though this
can be configured) and a little jerkiness when the image gets displayed.

I'll have to give Kuickshow a shot then.  Gwenview could use a Clone
Window command too, but at least it still has an editable location
bar.

I have a Bash alias :  alias feht='feh -td -E 150 -y 150 -W 1800' ;
'feh filespec' shows a slideshow of successive pictures,
while 'feht filespec' shows an array of thumbnails inside the screen.
