The man page description notes, "display - displays an >image or image sequence on any X server." I've not used it to view a >sequence of images so I cannot comment about that feature. I had also never heard of 'display' so I started by typing it on the command line. Up pooped the splash screen for ImageMagick, complete with a wizard holding his wand. Of course, I have ImageMagick installed, although I use it rarely, because it displays the image instantly, but leaves the mouse pointer revolving for a long time. More importantly, it offers only the view, no additional things like the resolution or other properties, and no slide-show either. It doesn't even have a menu bar. I don't usually need all the features of the GIMP (also installed), but I do sometimes need a few additional features, including the slide-show. This thread has been very useful to me. I had been using Eye of Gnome as my default image viewer on my laptop, but while poking at some of the other image views that I have installed I discovered that I actually prefer gThumb (which also offers the slide-show feature). Just now I set to be my default, so my life is now slightly improved. :) _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
