Acdsee-like on linux ?

Hello guys,

I'm looking for a soft for linux which can allow me, like Acdsee, to browse into zip files and to view the content (images) without asking me extracting it.
Can someone advice me of a good software having this feature ?

Try Pixie Plus, it's a KDE app and using it with KDE you should be able to do these sort of things.

I just tried it out myself as I'm always looking for a better image viewer. If a zip is in a directory and it has images in it, the images appear as if they're in that directory, so it works pretty well although I wish I had to click on the zip to enter it as if it were a directory.

I tried out 0.8 beta 1, it has a few issues but it's a beta so no surprise. Overall it's a decent image viewer but it uses libjpeg like almost everything else so image loading is fairly slow compared to acdsee or the blazing fast compupic.

It's gqview for me too... Although it won't do that zip thing (while, as aardvark says, tar.gzs etc... are normally browsable by konq and if I recall correct even gmc managed that), it is the best image viewer as it provides fullscreen, slideshow, history of already viewed dirs.
Electric Eyes is ok if you want to do some image format conversions without opening that beast of gimp which would feel like using photoshop instead of ACDSee in the windows world.

XnView (ebuild somewhere in here around the forums) for a more 'advanced' program and Nautilus for natural images browsing integrated with Gnome :wink:

Gqview is just perfect. Pornview doesn´t have much features.

XnView (masked) is by far the most ACDSee-like app out there. There is even a windows version too so you can standardize with the same app on either platform.

I wrote the ACD guys in Victoria and received the following response. Doesn't look like a GNU/Linux port is on the map... but I tell ya, the "...unfortunately moving in that direction" part is kinda funny!

To the best of my knowledge, we are unfortunately moving in that direction.
I have forwarded your comments off to the developers to let them know of
your thoughts.
All of our customers are important to us and we appreciate your input.
Hopefully we can do something someday to address your concerns.

Thank you,
Paul

I have been a faithful and happy user of your excellent product,
ACDSee, since the 2.x days.

However my growing distaste of Microsoft products and policies,
such as WinXP, has led me to switch to GNU/Linux as my primary
desktop environment.

I know I only own two licensed copies of ACDSee and a few of the
other tools, so maybe I'm just a drop in the bucket. Still, I
hate to see a good friend go, ACDSee.

Perhaps ACDSystems R&D is working on a GNU/Linux port?

Thanks!
