Message

Hi,

I'm looking for a multi-format image viewer. I run KDE, so until now I've been playing with Kuickview.
However, it doesn't support animated GIF's, nor PhotoCD-images.
is there such a tool like ACDSee under windows?

I like gqview, but I don't know wheter it supports animated GIF's.

Regards,
toffe

Have you tried Feh ?? really cool image viewer , and of course theres always gimp and inkshow but these two are a bit more for manipulating images . Try feh

pornview is nice, but it doesn't do what I asked:
animated gifs, photoCD's...

still amazed that there really isn't any decent image viewers on linux....gqview is easily the best out of the bunch though...although it doesn't support animated gifs :/

I'm working on my own image viewer in python

all this school work :O not getting anything done....from what I've seen it doesnt' seem very difficult to make one....I was having more trouble thinking of a name for it lol

Good idea, make on of your own and then put it on portage so that we can tell you if it works better then the others or not .

Did you tried Feh ?

yep, it views images nicely, but I have to close/reopen feh for every image. I can't use my scroll-wheel or pgup-pgdwn to browse through the pictures. (or maybe I didn't try hard enough)

I've recently switched from gqview to gwenview, which is easier on the eye.

Have you tried

Code: Select all

feh -t /images/

?
or even

Code: Select all

man feh

feh --help | grep browse

I found xnview, looks more or less like what I was looking for

... you don't need to close and reopen, just cd to the folder with images and:

Code: Select all

feh *

now focus the feh window and scroll your heart out

Yup, and it all comes on

Code: Select all

man feh

Believe me its an incredible piece of software
