How about option d) Windows users have never experienced a decent image
viewer and don't know what they are missing ;-p

I still use that old port actually because there is nothing better, though
it has some pretty severe issues like visually corrupting one in ten images
I throw at it. I'd love to join the dev team and work on a port based off
something more recent, but my time is stretched too thin as it is.

Re: [Geeqie-devel] Resource leak in Geeqie 1.2 on debian jessie?

[Ian Munsie]

I hit memory issues as well (all versions I've tried - 1.2 from source,
Debian's version, even going back to 1.0 still hits it), but it's only
virtual memory usage - resident memory stays contained. On 32bit geeqie
will start behaving badly once it hits 4GB virtual memory (which is easy to
hit scrolling through a directory with a couple of hundred .cr2 images),
first auto rotation stops working then an image or two later it stops
loading further images. It does not crash. The 64bit version doesn't
eliminate the problem, but has enough virtual address space that it is not
practical to hit.
