For everyday work whit images i've found that gpicview<http://lxde.sourceforge.net/gpicview/>from the lxde project it's actually pretty awesome, rotating an image or saving in another format is pretty quick, I don't think it can handle batch conversions or renamings tho.
for the media recording programs I don't think xubuntu will ever use k3b, being kde dependant and all, and i think xfce people is working on improving xfburn, so yeah. :) 2011/7/22 James Freer <[email protected]> > -----Original Message----- > From: Bruno Benitez <[email protected]> > To: xubuntu-devel > <[email protected].**com<[email protected]> > > > Sent: Tue, 19 Jul 2011 17:51 > Subject: Replacing GIMP > > > Hello, how is everybody?
