Now that I responded to that other message just now, I'll extend my belated thanks. I had tried geeqie earlier and it just didn't click on first usage, tried again with your prompting and I'm liking it much better! Still somewhat glitchy (e.g. scrolling a zoomed image with info overlay causes screen artifacts); it's not quite as keyboard friendly as I'd like (focus doesn't always work the way I think it should, nor is it always clearly visible what has focus, which is a particular problem when trying to use the arrow keys to scroll a zoomed picture and focus is actually on the files); and I haven't figured out how to make geeqie understand that Darktable .xmp sidecars should be grouped with the RAW. I do wish it would allow non-saved exposure control, hard to evaluate ETTR RAW images without that. But anyone wanting a fast image viewer on Linux should give geeqie a real tryout. -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
