Re: [newbie] Image viewer

[Marv Boyes]

I like GQview, but I've been playing a bit lately with GThumb, as well. 
Very nicely done and well-polished-- but I favor GQview because its 
'Edit with the GIMP' option doesn't fire up another instance of the 
GIMP, as GThumb seems to insist on doing (though I'm sure, if I were 
more capable, I could figure out a way to get around that).

What I _really_ want to try, though, and have been trying to for months, 
is PixiePlus. I can't get it to run on my system, either compiled form 
source or installed from dedicated Mandrake 9.2 RPMs, because it insists 
on my having ImageMagick 5.5.4, while Mdk 9.2 came with v5.5.7. It's a 
bit off-topic: but can anyone suggest how I might get this thing to run? 
It seems to be exactly what I've been looking for in an image manager 
(i.e., something close to ACDSee, the only Windows app I really miss). 
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No, I  use it as well, but then Kuickshow does the slide show, which 
is great for getting a good look at a collection of photos.  It's to 
be hoped they get it sorted, because I'm going to miss it.
 

GQview has a slideshow option also. And otherwise you can use qiv.
Run  qiv -itsfru <dirname> for a slideshow of all images in <dirname> 
and its subdirectories.  Remove the 'r' in the options to prevent 
images from showing randomly, and the 's' to prevent qiv from 
following the directory tree downwards.  :-)
