I didn't it see that way. And, yes, I also like it to just output important stuff. But more for egoistic reason not have to scroll trough all standard messages to find the important ones. For that reason I like the output, the kernel is giving. By the way, I like the term "interweb" as I do not like how meaningless "internet" is used present days. > I would prefer Geeqie to be that way, but I am also happy for it to > stay as it is.

ROFL.. :-) I fully believe. Another "danger area" are the translations. Most are still from the old gqview and most have fuzzy translations all over the place. Just run ./gen_translations_stats.sh in po directory. The most accurate one is the German one, I believe. And present days, Tomasz Golinski does update polish translation when I ask a polish friend of mine to do it. That is followed by French as zas did update it from time to time. But this dates back to 2012 now. And also Greek (el) should be not in too bas shape although there are many fuzzy translations still in there. And maybe we could add a en.po to translate all my denglish to proper english. ;-) > Since then I have spent far more time than I wanted to trying to improve > it.
